    Beautiful. The texturing and colour tones in the background are so complementary to this. I’m no painter, but I understand colour and form. Lovely.

  • Matthew Bates replied

    I worked really hard on this painting, especially the background.

    This is wonderfully beautiful, Matthew. Like Gracey, I am not a painter, but have a couple of close family members that are. I see true beauty in this painting.

    Thanks Tiamaria! I am really glad that you stopped by :)

    this has to be my favorite work i have seen on red bubble so far, how did you get the orchids to look like they were digitally produced? and i love the clean lines of the flowers against the atmospheric background

    Thanks Criminalsink,

    I worked really hard on this painting. I kept painting it until I got the desired realism. I paint with Maimeri Puro paints. They are fantastic.

    So realistic you can almost reach out and touch them. Fabulous work!

    Very nice. The orchid is very realistic, but the unusual background keeps this painting from being boring and ordinary.

  • Matthew Bates replied

    Thanks! I agree, the background really makes that painting.
