My Work In Progress #3 of my piece on the species Schlumbergera 'orrsichiana' in my collection. Drawn from life (not cut either). Coloured pencil base with watercolour top layer. I aim to add more as they progressively open, and define the flowers. Each plant is subtly different. #art

My work in progress on my quick 'sketches' of orssichiana plants in my collection. Here I now have Imperatrix Ilza (viewer left) and PG2341 (not bred by me). They are coloured pencil/watercolour mixed media. it is not my best work because I have had artists' block for so long.

This is just a very quick coloured pencil/watercolour hybrid sketch of Schlumbergera orssichiana 'Imperatrix Ilza' drawn/painted from life. I have had artists' block for a long time. This will hopefully be part of a larger piece with more orssichiana and maybe some Queens.

I have got a new copy of the hardback version of Tarka the Otter now. This one had photographs. I have the soft back version too. One of my all time favourite books.

I have finished another quick drawing of my other slipper orchid in flower ( Paphiopedilum Mount Toro Album). I removed the inflorescence for this and had to work fast as the flowers are going over. #art #orchids #Mt #Toro #slipper #paphiopedilum #coloured #pencil #drawing #botanical #orchid

'Vanda Hybrid.' Watercolour painted a few years ago from life. Unfortunately I no longer have this plant, therefore it is immortalised in this painting. #watercolour #painting #orchid #vanda

Phragmipedium 'Grande.' Watercolour, painted from life about a year or so ago when the plant first flowered. I hope that it will flower for me again at some point. #watercolour #art #portrait
