This is my first entry for the Daily Paint Works Challenge. I will be honest and had tried to paint to enter twice before but I didn't think my work was up to par at that time. What really pushed me this time is the proceeds going to benefit people and pets devastated by the earthquake and tsunami in Japan through the auction of these paintings.
My painting was inspired by a beautiful photograph shot by a talented friend Susanne Uy who generously allowed me to use her photo as inspiration. Thank you Susanne!

Beautiful, Sheila. Well done and for a deserving cause.
Beautiful painting, Sheila - I'm sure it will bring some nice money for the auction.
Sheila, your latest paintings are beautiful, esp. Ruby Red Orchids and Peace Orchids. I am keeping your relatives and friends in Japan in my prayers.

great job. And such a worthy cause. We have a grandson working relief and rescue for the U S Navy over there and pray every day for his safety. What a great human tragedy and what a sense of pride to see all who are working to help out.
So glad to submitted and it's beautiful! You have such a big heart xox
Tout en délicatesse et bien annonciatrice du printemps cette branche fleurie...

Beautiful, Sheila, with luscious texture. The design is very interesting -- nice that your friend gave you permission to paint from her photo. I also like that hint of yellow-green in the left corner that suggests foliage to me.
I wish you success in raising money for the people and pets in Japan. We are all so saddened by the tragedy there.
Love the colors and the yellow bits showing through really animates the image.
Beautiful donation for the challenge.
Oh, this is beautiful! I absolutely love it!
one of my favorite subjects. Reminds me of sumi-e.
I just found a website with beautiful Orchid photos that may inspire you. Small collection, but they are all labeled. Orchids
