Description
Painted using Photoshop CS4 and wacom intuos3 tablet and pen
This african flower was painted originally to be part of a previous upload, 'Cheetah out of Africa' , but it took me a while to paint and it seemed sad to make it small so as to fit it into another scene.
So this african flower now takes centre stage as it not only blooms showing off its vibrant shades, but also provides some shade for the little animal friends who take shelter under her petals, namely the african reed frog, african ladybird, and african snail. As I got lost within the painting, I imagined a turbulent storm that flooded the plains of Africa, that brought new life to its surroundings, and as the plants and flowers grew their fine leaves brought shelter to the smallest of animal life - Animals always play a big part in all my art, what would life be without them?
I hope you like it everyone, thanks for the look, thank you for the prievious wonderful inspiring comments, and thank you for all the previous faves too, they are all so appreciated my friends!
There has been a lot happening in mine and my families life recently and I have tended to just forget my problems within my art, and caring for my pets. Sorry for my lack of comments my dear friends but I hope to put that right this week. Hope you are all well, take care, hugs Jane xx

Note ... The flower is a Disa Uniflora orchid, here is a link kindly found to give you all from Joanna (jophoto).
Originally I scanned the Internet to find such a plant in order to use it as reference for my painting, then forgot where I found it and didn't make note of the name of the orchid!! Had a slight senior moment guys lol

Superb textures, colors, and light. Very cute creatures inhabiting your soggy world. Wonderful moment captured with the frog getting a splash on his face, the water still pouring from the leaves, and rushing over the ground. I love your painting of the turbulent water on the ground. Beautiful shine on the snail shell and frog's skin. Gorgeous orchid! Excellent painting!
