Orchids in the Sun

The miniature yellow Lesser Lady Slippers growing wild at our summer home on Lake of the Woods at Morson, Ontario Canada. These tiny orchids were no bigger than the tip of my little finger. This painting took many hours over a 6 month period to paint but was well worth it since I felt I succeeded with the perspective, lighting and depth. I added two small damsel flies to grab the viewer's attention and tiny touches of gold acrylic and iridescent watercolor medium for a little more magic and excitement!
