I realized the current state of the world is affecting me more than I would. And I’m certainly not the only one. For the past couple of weeks, I wanted to share things about plants and art but there was always a real bad news happening and I felt like I had to wait a little bit.

These paintings almost didn’t make it! Lots of complications, technical issues, shipping nightmare… But here they are for Small Wonders 14 at @archenemyarts.bsky.social I was about to give up at some point but the gallery was so supportive and helps me through it! So grateful!

I've made a small plant purge. I gave my pink princess and philo squamiferum florida. I realized that I don't want to start moss pole. They look so high maintenance and I’m kinda lazy so… Good riddance!

I promised to myself : No more orchids! But then I saw this one at the store! I was looking for that gorgeous patterned leaf orchid in my collection so I had to have it! And it’s smell amazing! I’m so addicted to that smell.

I realize I've been away for a while. I’m currently on a painting spree, working on 6 paintings in the same time. I always forget to take pictures and videos but I got a couple nonetheless. I've got sick, a small thrips infestation and my computer crashed. That sums pretty much the past month.

Drawing for the next painting. I’ve been inspired by gazanias, a beautiful flower I discovered not long ago thanks to @therealcavey.bsky.social !

Most artists find this part very satisfying. I’m not. I’m just stressed that dust got stuck in it and it always happen no matter what I do! And I always apply 3 layers!

Repotted my calathea makoyana and there was a bit too much rhizomes so I'm trying to propagate them. One with perlite and one in soil. Let's see if it'll work.

Closer look of Pollen & Praliné exhibited at Black Moth Tattoo Gallery until 31th of August. I grow echinacea in my garden and I like to think their big cones would taste good with some chocolate!

Cherry and whipped cream with flower make total sense. At least in my world!
As I love to think, flowers are the candy of nature!

When I repotted my big Black velvet last April, I got 10 corms which 9 grew and put them in perlite.
And now 3 month later they are doing great!

Closer look of the 4 O’Clock. Not my usual palette, I’m more a pink flower girl. Mirabilis comes in many colors but I was very inspired by the broken variety. I loved the unusual pattern!

This is the bigger flower I ever painted! I guess now I’ve gave myself enough room to paint details! Let’s see how it will turn out!
And I made a pearly raspberry color for the background 🥰

Since I put it in water, I’m wondering about this plant. After I saw a picture of caladium, I saw how both look the same. Well guess what? Alocasia hilo beauty is in fact a Caladium! To be more precise it’s a Caladium praetermissum and wrongfully marketed as an Alocasia!

Bought this orchid for half the price in January. No flower but the leaves and roots was very healthy so I thought I really need to save it. You know, the kind of things you say to excuse the fact you have bought another plant? That. Excited to see what color the flowers will be.
