Kathy, I've seen this painting before and I know I voted for it! Is it in the WWAO exhibit? I loved it then and I love it now!

Artist Reply: Yup, it was/is on WWAO exhibit. I had this in a one woman show here on the Big Island of Hawaii. I did a whole blog about it. It was one of the first paintings I did after a fall from a full flight of stairs. I have written so much about the fall and the fact that there are comebacks when you think there won't be. I kept thinking when I painted this.."I'm back!". Goes to show appreciate every moment.

The orchid's color enhances an already masterful work. Amazing series with this subject!!

Artist Reply: Thank you so much. This series has a blog that tells of painting this series after a fall down a full flight of stairs. I feared I would not paint again. "Orchids" was the first to complete after 9 months of not being able to paint. I cried the whole time while painting it. I was soo grateful to be painting again.

Awesome art Kathy, light and colour perfect, talented work, impressive portfolio!

Artist Reply: Thanks so much! I had a major computer crash and have not been online for a bit. Gotta get to posting on Art Wanted again. I am kind of worried about my latest ones that I posted. They are ACEO's and it looks like the tops are cut off... unless you click the image and then they are OK. I am not sure if that is how they would print out. do you know? Kathy
