Daily Painting 534 Malabar Orchids

I am experimenting again, I have no idea if there are any orchids called Malabar, but there is this spinach called Malabar Spinach. One of the ladies at Heathcote Botanical Gardens gave me some berries from their Malabar Spinach plant. She told me they had made some dye from them and I thought the color was lovely so I mushed up the berries and made this ink out of them. I thought it looked like a super purple for the orchids so here it is.

I have no idea how archival it is but it sure stained my fingers! The black is from an ink stick that I ground. I had a lot of fun with this one. Its 8 x 12, ink and berry juice.
