This is my latest painting " White Orchid ", it is acrylics on board in a black frame 57 x 57 cm, with a gloss varnish. I kept looking at the  beautiful orchid on my windowsill, thinking I must paint it before it stops flowering, but I had it since last December and it keeps flowering continuously. It's stunning and now I have finally painted it, I am sure I will paint it again another day.

We had a great day in Oxford last weekend. It has such great architecture, shops and eateries. You can take a punt on the River Thames, visit the colleges or the botanical garden. We discovered a different side of Oxford on a unique tour of the city streets. Bill Spectre tells spine tingling stories and takes you to spooky sites for a very entertaining evening with a difference. A great day out.

Hi

Bill Spectre sounds great, I love things like that. My boyfriend once took me to Dublin where we did the famous Dublin Ghost bus, see www.dublinbus.ie/sightseeing/ghostbus.aspx. I can't wait now to go to Oxford.

Nice painting.

Reminds me of some Japanese pictures I saw a while back. The dark background on your painting gives it a contemporary twist.
