Hi from Spain. I'm Director of an orchid's magazine under the name of "Orchidarium". I'm also the curator of the Orchidarium in Estepona (MΓ‘laga-Spain), so I often organize workshops, conferences, etc. That's why I'm always looking for fine art about orchids, and your work is certainly awesome. I'm asking for your permission to use this wonderful plate to announce a future workshop. But I should also use it for the magazine (perhaps, but not sure what for right now). My magazine has no profit purposes and it can be downloaded for free; the workshop is also for free; I don't gain any money for such works. So that's why I ask your permission also for free (of course, always recognizing your authorship). Please, give a sight to "Orquidario de Estepona" in Fb. If you agree, please, send me an image of higher resolution to orquidarioestepona@hotmail.com. Regards. Manuel Lucas

Hello! I'm making a series of art videos about flowers, and I was wondering if I could include this piece in one of my videos. It would be set to an original classical-style composition (by me) about this flower. I'll be sure to credit you and link to your page if you say yes. Here's a link to see the kind of music it is: [link]

well, with colored pencils it was delicate touches that got me through the petals somewhat successfully. thanks for the comment!

I just attempted an orchid in pastel, think I will go to prismacolors too. This is so simple from afar thumbnail view, and still so wonderfully detailed up close. Very very nice!

thanx.
yeah, it's hard to beat prismacolor i think. i tried pastels for the first time recently and pretty much sucked at it.

hey there, i know it took a while but prints are available now if you're still interested. take a look at it first, i took away the border and text, better that way i think. image was 27 mb so it should be really good quality.
