My next Chameleon painting-First wash

[Orchidartist]

This will be January's painting, I just finished my first major washes. I know it doesnt look like much right now, but there is a Parsons Cham crawling above the Angraecum sesquipedale(A Madagascar native orchid). It should take me a few more weeks to complete, I wanted to share the development with you!
This is a large painting, 22 x 30"...they are almost lifesize!

Thanks for taking a look

That looks amazing so far! Do you do custom work?

 

[Chamgirl]

I am going to want this painting when it's finished! I have two chameleon paintings already by a brilliant guy, Tel Hicks.

 

[laurie]

I don't have ANY (poor me) chameleon pictures and I WANT IT MORE!!!!!

Beautiful! Your work is very inspiring. Definitely post the finished piece.

Thanks for sharing.

you could probably definatly fund your cham habit by selling your work and/or doing custom work, you are very talented!!

It is really looking great so far. Looking forward to the finished product.

I keep checking this thread to see if the cham is done. It looks great, and can't wait to see the finished product!

I think its cool how it is! So neat that you have the perfect outsline of the cham..Did you take this off a pic or just from your head?
