As a Mother's Day gift my son presented me with a gorgeous orchid plant similar to this one. I've never had an orchid plant before and must admit I was a bit intimidated by them. It's October now and the plant is still doing well. Surprise! Surprise! It's gone through the flower-dying stage and the old stem cutting-off stage, it has grown two new leaves, and it has also been re-potted! I'm kind of proud of myself actually.
I was worried about being able to paint the "faces" of the flowers with all the parts they have. I decided to simplify the centers quite a bit, and I think it worked. The Wallis paper had been dry-mounted to foamcore, and it was really a nice surface to work on. I liked the stiffness of the foamcore underneath it all.
