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!

This orchid bud was done using leftover oil paint that I had from the previous day’s session. My reference was a pencil sketch that I did from life a few years ago. Somehow the monochrome effect didn’t look right as I was painting it, but in the end, I liked it and thought it had a “classic” feel to it.

This is the first time I’m painting the Pigeon Orchid (dendrobium crumenatum). Our little plant has actually bloomed before, but I wasn’t quick enough to paint the flowers then. My Mom and I were new to the Pigeon Orchid and we were more accustomed to longer blooming orchids. I was very surprised when these wilted after only a few hours! I made sure to catch the blooms (and bud) this time though.
Hello! My name is Faith Te. I am an artist from the Philippine Islands.
On June 20, 2009, I began creating small-sized daily paintings as a way to learn more about oil paints as well as to improve speed and skill. I started this blog to record and showcase these daily oil paintings.

In addition, I also do realistic portraits using graphite and charcoal pencils. You may view my pencil drawings on my web site, Artistic Realism.
