I waited for this orchid to flower for a long time. I think it was over a year ago when it last bloomed. I was really excited when I saw the buds growing. Today, all three buds have fully opened — it’s really wonderful to see its deep purple flowers again!

I would like the teacup to look more translucent so I will give this painting a second layer. I am also trying to use my tube of phthalo blue more so I used it on the background here.

This is a painting of the tropical fruit star apple or caimito/cainito. I have not eaten one of these in a long while that I have actually forgotten what they taste like. They are delicious!

Daily Painting #243 – Three Peppers
(Click image for larger version)

These chili peppers were such beautiful shades of green, I just had to paint them! I like how the ends are out of focus, giving the painting more depth.

Five Tangerines

Daily Painting #239 – Five Tangerines
(Click image for larger version)

I’ve been wanting to do this composition for quite some time now, but I kept putting it off because I was intimidated by the glass dish. Well, these baby tangerines wouldn’t keep any longer so I had no choice but to do it. Surprisingly, this painting was fun and I didn’t come across any difficulties at all.

Pears used to be the hardest subjects to paint for me. But now, they are one of my most favorite.
