Blue Orchid 4

This is an original watercolour painting part of my Blue Flower collection.

Blue orchids are exotic flowers, their uncommonness in nature makes them a symbol of rarity and unique individuality.

Orchids are considered symbols of love, but blue orchids which are hard to find symbolize an unusually deep and meaningful form of love; one that is one of a kind and just as rare and beautiful as the orchid.
This is why during the Victorian era blue orchids were given as gifts to lovers as it was believed that the rareness of the flower signified the depth of the emotions that the couple felt for each other.

Its much harder for me to talk about my art than it is to paint ;)
Words come later, images and the joy I experience when I paint comes first.

I sometimes think about my work as a maze. I go into long winded paths of discovery, I dive deep into a subject but I follow tangents too. They sometimes lead to dead ends yet other times bring about the most wonderful discoveries.

Ive learned not to give up too soon. Is almost a scientific approach: establishing outcomes through testing and experimentation; making observations, predictions and most importantly analysing the results.

I work in collections. I explore a subject until I feel like its ran its course. I paint in tied palette that I almost always mix myself, colour mixing and creating my own colours is a big part of my prep work. My palette oscillates between earthy tones, dark moody ones and blue, the colour that I seem to be gravitating towards in recent months. As Van Gogh said "There is no blue without yellow and orange", therefore I also incorporate those two, its a must!
