Despite the non-stop bad news, I kept painting. Plants and flowers help me to stay a bit more grounded. Keep doing what you love, allow yourself to cut the negativity some time. #plant #art #arttherapy #flower #painting

This is what happens when you disregard the orientation of the flower spike and rotate carelessly the plant. What a disgrace! #orchid #badorchidmother #phalaenopsis #indoorgardening #flower

Merry Christmas everybody! I know the state of world looks like beyond repair but let's take a small break from it today and celebrate with our loved ones!

A big beautiful corm. Always exciting! #alocasia #alocasiablackvelvet #aroid #indoorgardening

Some wip of the pieces I did for Small Wonders 14 at @archenememyarts. I tried new things for these. I did some engraving in the wood. I tried 3-4 tools before getting an engraving pen. Then I put imitation gold leaf in the background. The finish wasn’t great so I eventually painted the background.

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! #painting #floralart

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. #orchid #phalaenopsis #indoorgardening

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.

Submerge, the online group exhibition of @wowxwowgallery.bsky.social is now live! Once Upon a Sprinkle is looking for a new home! It’s my bigger piece I made since a long time. Acrylics on wood panel 10’’ x 20’’ #painting #magnolia #canadianartist #floralart #artforsale

Shit. #thrips

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

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. #calathea #propagation #indoorgardening

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! #floralart #echinacea #art #painting #botanicalart #floralartist

May I present you Alocasia scalprum or Samar lance. It is native to Samar island in the Philippines and it is gorgeous!! #alocasia #tropicalplant #indoorgarden #aroid

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! #wip #workinprogress #artwip #painting #whippedcream

Small thrift score! #thrifting #thriftscore

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! #gardeing #indoorgardening #alocasia #blackvelvet #corms

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! #artforsale #marvelofperu #mirabilis #floralart #botanicalpainting #walldecorations

My shade garden right now 🥰 #shadegarden #gardening #hosta #heuchera #brunnera

One of my favorite part, doing the dots! #painting #wip #artwip #workinprogress #dotting

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 🥰 #painting #wip #artwip #workinprogress

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! #plant #plantfact

New piece incoming! I really have a thing for narrow panel. I promised myself I’ll work on bigger size this year so voila! #painting #wip #artwip #workinprogress

This is the final piece in my serie on night-blooming flowers. As its flowers open late in the day, the Four O Clock invite creatures of the night to them. Now avalaible at @wowxwowgallery.bsky.social online gallery. #floralpainting #4oclockflower #mirabilis #floralinspiration #art #painting

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. #orchid #gardening

Today is the opening of the group show Absurd Spectaculars at @blackmothtattoo gallery! The line up is full of great artists and I feel very lucky to exhibit there with them! If you're in the neighborhood of Pottstown Pa, go take a look! #smallart #onlineexhibition #art #painting #exhibition

Look who is growing new roots! So happy it works! #alocasia

Wip for 2 pieces I made for @blackmoth_tattoo gallery and the group exhibit Absurd Spectaculars starting next Tuesday! #exhibit #wip #painting

My last piece versus the original! I'm so sad my zinnias didn't take this year! 😭 Maybe I started them too late. #painting #zinnia #coreopsismoonbeam #garden #art #floralart

Just put my alocasia hilo beauty in water at a last resort. Never had success with it and it just grows weaker and smaller. If it survive this, I'll try leca. Any tips? #alocasia #homegardening #indoorplant #tropicalplant

New work in progress #wip #workinprogress

Show me your garden! Here's my shade garden at the moment. 🥰 #garden #gardening #gardeningincanada #shadegarden #plantslover

Inspired by flowers in my garden, The Sugar Within the Bloom is one of my latest paintings for the online group exhibition The Oceanic Source with @wowxwow_art! #botanicalart #zinnia #floralart #paintingforsale #flowersart #canadianart wowxwow.com/the-oceanic-...

Listen to them when they say the orchid fever is real! May I presente to you my 9th and 10th orchid. #orchid #orchidfever #phalaenopsis

Found this ghostly hosta. It should get a bit of green as it gets bigger. I love how it will contrasts with the purple plants in my shade garden. (White feather hosta) #gardeningincanada #gardening #zone5 #hostas

The season has begun!! 🌸🌿 #garden #gardenincanada #gardenzone5 #canadagarden #mintreal #canada #zone5

Naughty girls. #pestplant #infected #rubbingalcohol #70%alcohol

Upcoming piece for @wowxwowgallery.bsky.social #floralart #botanicalpainting #art #wip #acrylicpainting

UPDATE : still not sure what it is. I had roots and flower spikes and it doesn't look like that so I still think it's a keiki but I could be wrong since I got into orchid only since December. #orchid #keiki

The world may be shit but there's flowers. The explosion of scilla soothe my soul. #gardening #canada #scilla #bluebell #springflower

Is this a keiki? OMG please tell me it's a keiki! My first baby orchid! 😍 #orchid #plant #indoorgarden #keiki

Got this lovely Alocasia cuprea. The leaves are gorgeous with this coppery appearence. #alocasia #cuprea #gardening #aroid #indoorgardening

Even if gladiolus tristis stays open all day long, it keeps its wonderful fragrance for the night. A lovely scent of sweet almond envelope the surrounding, inviting all the creatures of the night to its embrace. Here: shorturl.at/0lIkr #gladiolus #flowerlover #botanicalart #gardenart #flower

For those who make their own aroid mix, did you experience mold in it? Some people say it's normal and not dangerous but is it really? The bark seems to be the problem. The plants look fine but I repotted them only 3 weeks ago. I don't want to lose my calathea/alocasias! #aroid #gardening #alocasia

Preview for my next painting with @wowxwowgallery.bsky.social for their next online exhibit Memories Become Dreams next week. #art #floralpainting #botanicalart #gladioli #flowerart

The crocus have risen! 😍 #crocus #gardening #spring #gardeningincanada

I finished a serie a couple weeks ago and jumping into another project is often somehow difficult. But the hardest part is done and I will have some wip to show very soon. I still carry on even with the shitshow outside! How do you manage transition between projects?
