Day Twenty-Two - Magenta Orchid

This is the only houseplant I own! It has survived for years sitting on my bathroom windowsill - which is lucky as it is near the sink! Otherwise goodness knows when it would get watered!
6" oil on board £110 incl UK postage

I love the rich colour of it's petals though there is that "insectlike" quality of orchids which slightly unnerves me.

      Thank you Anne, this may be the end of the magenta series, unless I unearth something else in the house!

    Nice orchid. I intend to try Rosemary brushes. With the challenge and work I haven't had time to even think about converting dollars to pounds.

      Thank you Sandra. Yes I know how you feel. I thought I was coping well with the challenge but that was while I had nothing much else on my plate, now there is so much, I can't sleep with my thoughts all over the place, not what's needed for me today! when I wanted to get ahead of myself. The brushes are lovely and I am enjoying using them. Hope you have an easier time till he Thirtieth!!
