Orchids and Wood Sorrel

My orchid painting is close to finished, only a few layers left to go and a background to sort out.
Phael, 8x10 inches, oil paint on Claybord panel, unfinished.

This painting is of flowers from my patio. Wood Sorrel (Oxalis) plants have small pink or yellow flowers, and are sort of edible, but they taste incredibly sour. I started this painting with a pretty complete pencil drawing, seen in the first picture, and the paint is going on top of the drawing. 
Oxalis, 11x14 inches, oil paint on Claybord panel, unfinished, before. 
 This is after the first layer of color on the flowers, I need to do something to darken the background next.
