Pink Orchids

"Pink Orchids" 7.5" x 7.5"

These small paintings are fun to do, but sometimes can be

challenging. I'm so used to working on a half sheet (22" x 15"),

that switching to a small piece of paper can be difficult. I really

enjoy working with large brushes and lots of pigment, but I am

forced to change it up for these "micro" paintings. Smaller brush,

but I can still manage a lot of color and lots of water. I find myself

using this format often for my roosters. This Sunday is the Fall meeting

of the Vermont Watercolor Society...it should be a fun one! Plus I am

going to stop by the Middlebury Frog Hollow and change up some

paintings, so they have some fresh work of mine heading in to the

holidays...two birds with one tank of gas!
