Zoe Elizabeth Norman
Bee Orchids, Painting, Watercolor on Watercolor Paper

2014

About the Item

This is a botanical watercolour which I painted using sketches and specimens taken from a protected wild flower meadow in Norfolk. The flowers are very complex and tiny so a magnifying glass was needed. The rich vibrant colours were build up using many layers of paint. Ophrys apifera, known in Europe as the bee orchid, is a perennial herbaceous plant belonging to the family Orchidaceae. The name "Ophrys" derives from the Greek word ophrys, meaning "eyebrow", while the Latin specific epithet apifera means "bee-bearing" or "bee-bringing" and refers to the bee-shaped lip of the orchid. Signed on the front and accompanied by a signed certificate of authenticity. Carefully packaged with recycled materials where possible and shipped with insurance and tracking. :: Painting :: Realism :: This piece comes with an official certificate of authenticity signed by the artist :: Ready to Hang: No :: Signed: Yes :: Signature Location: Signed on the bottom right hand corner :: Watercolor Paper :: Portrait :: Original :: Framed: No
