You get what you pay for

Curious week, this week.  Things are slowly opening up but not many are out and about.

I am one of those that didn't get out much before the pandemic, and won't be out much after the restrictions are opened.  I imagine after this weekend we will see more activity.

I bought 3 crappy canvases at Michaels this week for $10.  You get what you pay for and these are not worth a penny more than $10.  But the good news is that when I paint on a canvas like

that, or an old used canvas, I tend to paint much looser, which I like.  So the first day I had a very busy canvas AND a very purple canvas.  So the next day I got up and used chalk to draw a design on the dry paint.  I mixed a bit of black in the purple and used some white and completely changed it.

I like this but I don't like the canvas...oh well.

Then I dug out an old painting and reworked it a bit.  I am not sure about it yet.

And the good news is, one of my favorite orchids is blooming this week.

This is a dendrobium amabile nobile and it reminds me of egg yolks.

This plant has a dozen bloom stems, a record for it.  I repotted it last spring.  This year, so far I have divided and repotted 16 plants.  It is hard, dirty work.  I don't need to tell you what my hands and nails look like.  

Wishing all a Happy PPF
