Lady's-slipper orchid

Description

The most beautiful Italian orchid, "la scarpetta di Venere" - Venus's slipper (Cypripedium calceolus).

Some days before moving in with my boyfriend (now upgraded to husband) I was doodling with a sketchbook while thinking about our new home: how could I move in a place without paintings hanging on the walls?
Terrible! I had to rectify it!

Trapped in a drawing spree, I began gluing two scraps of coloured hard paper (dark maroon and orange) to a white one, then I grabbed the water colors and this flower came out.
Total time: 45 minutes :)
