Twisted Demon
Schomburgkia spp.
Original Watercolor painting of the orchid species by Rose Ganucheau
Work: 22" x 30"

When I first saw this head of glossy chocolate-red twisty-curvy schomburgkias, I simply HAD to paint it. 

I soon realized how crazy I was to take on a challenge of this scope. 

But still I painted on.

For hours and hours, and days and days I kept telling myself "Just STOP!,  You'll NEVER finish it." 

But still I painted on. 

I found myself hoping against hope that the flowers would simply shrivel up and dry....

But NO...they stayed as fresh as the day they opened. 

 And still I painted on.

and then...

one day...

it was done.
