22×30 watercolor
This lovely purple orchid plant was a birthday gift from my parents one year. I knew the flowers wouldn’t last forever, and I probably wouldn’t be able to get it to bloom again. So I decided to capture some of its beauty in a watercolor painting.
Violet Jade Gems was published in The Watercolour Flower Aritist’s Bible by Quarto Publishing, London, in 2007.
