I myself did not think how I loved orchids so that I painted this picture more than 30 times. The below one is the first one I painted on June 26 and the over one it the 20th piece of the paintings I painted on June 28. Usually, I had done my daily practice for 2 or 3 hours, but June 26 to June 28, I did it for 7 or 8 hours for I really loved the orchids and I wanted to paint it better and better. How do you think of the two paintings? Which one is a little better?
