These are of the "catlaya" seed line. My wife
has a tremendous variety of orchids. These are in bloom right now. So, I borrowed a plant and sat down and began drawing & painting in Xara X.

The very wonderful> line,color,transp,feather tools were used.

Enjoy..

You have a splendid feel for the beauty of flowers. I am inspired to try some more, myself.

Publish a book or some postcards or something! Just publish! All your flowers are a joy to see. Add the words "Puerto Rico" to the bottom and these orchids would make a great tourist postcard.

Very beautiful, very appealing! One of the reasons I like Xara is its ability to display strong vibrant colors (when, of course, its in the hands of someone with your talents) .... its perfect for flowers.

I'd really like to see the process from beginning to end of drawing such a flower recorded into a AVI movie similar to the what Xara uses for its demos. I think it would be facinating!
