Orchids

A detail of last night's sketch. I always enjoy zooming and cropping in Photoshop. It works the same way as physical cropping corners, allowing me to find and consider the better parts of the work. Turning the drawing upside down and sideways is good too. Here I'm mainly happy with the liveliness of the line, especially in the orchid at the bottom left, above.

Here's the whole thing:

 I also love the combination of this particular orange and deep blue in the center here -- it does nothing for this painting, in fact the whole foreground would be better in cool tones, but it's something to remember for another time.
