orchid season!

i just looked at the date and realize how close we are to spring. One of my favorite ways to usher in the spring is to go to an Orchid Show. I usually go the the New York Botanical Gardens up in the Bronx, or to the show in Rockefeller Center. Both are spectacular.

In the past I’ve attended these shows as part of class, during a lunch break (when I worked in the Rockefeller area), and with my sister-in-law who absolutely loves orchids and makes her home a virtual orchid wonderland every spring. For me, the show has been a part of spring for quite a number of years now.

Here’s a couple of drawings of orchids from one of these shows. I’ll try to post some more soon. I’ll be attending the NYBG Orchid Show that starts February 28th, and of course I’ll be drawing and painting.
