I've been doing some of Daily Paintworks painting challenges for several weeks now and having fun and learning a lot. I haven't posted any yet, but decided to overcome my fears today and post this picture of "Ollie" our orchid-dwelling frog. He's a real cutie who has been residing in our orchid plant outside the bedroom window for months now. He loves to get a spray of water when I mist my plant, especially during these never-ending drought conditions. I had just started setting up a still life of a lovely gift bag I've been admiring on my desk for a while, and, lo and behold, painting a gift is the challenge this week. I can't wait to have a go at it.
