Angel Spice Cattleya Orchid Watercolor

Angel Spice Cattleya 

Here is an 8"x 8" watercolor, created with professional grade paints, on a cradled Aquabord panel that  I finished yesterday.  I got a chance to use one of my favorite colors, quinacridone coral, as well as lots of opera pink and quinacridone magenta.  An ethereal yet spicy-colored orchid, to warm up the coldest day!  This is a varnished water color, which means it has been protected with varnish and will not need a frame.  The cradled panel is 2" deep with varnished wood sides and is wired and ready to hang, or to display on a table or shelf.  Available for $65.00 with free shipping.  Simply e-mail me at Phyllis.Bleau@gmail.com

West Virginia Bouqet May 2015

West Virginia Bouquet

Here is a 20"x 20" acrylic, created with professional grade paints, on a 1.5" cradled cotton canvas panel that I did in mid-May of this year.  It is a very happy picture, with lots of bright, sunny colors and a buoyant attitude.  I painted this beautiful bouquet while visiting my sister, Pamela Gatens, in West Virginia.  She is a well-known artist up there and often exhibits her work at the Greenbrier Hotel in White Sulphur Springs, West Virginia, where she also does frequent painting demonstrations. We had a great time painting together, comparing notes, and she gave me some great ideas for more acrylic subjects this summer.  This one is available for $300.00 with free shipping.  Simply e-mail me at Phyllis.Bleau@gmail.com

My White Cattleya Orchids

White Cattleyas

This is my latest, just off the drawing board.  A painting of my white cattleya orchids that bloomed on my porch railing in front of my little travel trailer in Clearwater, Florida.  There were about a dozen of these beauties, all open at once, and as fragrant as the finest perfume!  This is a varnished watercolor, done on 22" x 30" Ampersand Aquabord, 2" cradled panel.  It is wired and ready for hanging, no frame or matting required!  It is the newest way to display watercolors, making them as durable and open to admiration as any oil or acrylic painting.  $500.00.

Yellow Cattleyas

SOLD

Here is a good example of using aureolin yellow and Antwerp Blue to get some dimension into yellow flowers.  Quinacridone Magenta and Permanent Rose play their supporting roles in the flashy lips on these sassy cattleya orchid blossoms.  With all their fluffy ruffles, it looks like a circus!

Gossipers

Gossipers

Here is my latest orchid watercolor, a crop of lovely laeliocattleyas. Done on 300# Arches Cold Press Watercolor paper in 15x22 format. I call them Gossipers because they remind of a group of ladies sharing the latest tidbits of news. Such pretty colors, and such fun to paint. My first use of a really dark background. I think I'll be using this style in future paintings for the drama! The original is for sale, $300.00 matted, unframed. Free Shipping in Continental U.S.

Ballerinas

SOLD

Here is a 5x7 inch watercolor on 140# watercolor paper that I did when I was at Swamp Fest the beginning of this month. It was fun to try out my travel set of watercolors by Winsor and Newton, which I hadn't had a chance to use for a while. Great to be outdoors in the Florida "winter" sunshine in the beautiful surroundings of Weeki Wachee, where the mermaids play! This painting is available for $49.00, matted and sent with free shipping. Your comments are always appreciated!

Arches natural watercolor paper.  This original painting is available for $300.00.
