The Madagascar periwinkle may look simple but she has a big secret : she holds powerful alkaloids now used to treat cancer. #medicinalplant #plantlover #periwinkle #art #artprocess #wip #acrylics

Did you know Calendula is a very versatile plant? It can be used as a natural dye, its flowers can be eaten and drunk as herbal tea, and it is widely used in skin care products. Almost perfect plant! #calendula #flowerart #flower #wip #artprocess

As a 2026's goal, I wanted to stop buying plants and tidy up my collection but I'm so obsessed with Anthurium right now 😭 What's your obsession? #plant #gardening #plantfever

The Anthurium fever have hit my home. May I present you my new babies : Dark phoenix x cristallinum Papillilaminum legend Oh the excitement to see them growing! #anthurium #indoorgarden #tropicalplant

For a couple of years now, I've redirect my art body toward floral art as I needed to be surrounded by nature. The more reality is shit, the more I need it. Especially right now. #plant #art #floralart #painting

New additions in the family : Syngonium pink allusion and neon robusta. Not completely sure of the names, the vendor/shop didn’t provide one. I can’t wait for them to grow so I can propagate them and have a splash of pink all around the house! #syngonium #indoorgarden #gardening #pinkplant

I got this Anthurium hybrid in October and it recently starts a new leaf. It's hard to believe that such tiny leaf will be at least the same size of the other one! #anthurium #plant #indoorgarden #tropicalplant

Cornus deliciosa is a very peculiar plant that you can only find at @archenemyarts for a couple of days. I experimented with engraving and imitation gold leaf and I'll definitely continue to explore this in the coming year. ------- Mixed medias on wood 12’’ x 12’’ #cornus #floralart #painting

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!

Grelin Machin @grelinmachin.bsky.social · 15/11/2025

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.

Grelin Machin @grelinmachin.bsky.social · 12/11/2025

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.

Grelin Machin @grelinmachin.bsky.social · 08/11/2025

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

Grelin Machin @grelinmachin.bsky.social · 02/09/2025

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

Grelin Machin @grelinmachin.bsky.social · 01/09/2025

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.

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

Grelin Machin @grelinmachin.bsky.social · 01/08/2025

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

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

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

Grelin Machin @grelinmachin.bsky.social · 12/07/2025

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

Grelin Machin @grelinmachin.bsky.social · 11/07/2025

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

Grelin Machin @grelinmachin.bsky.social · 09/07/2025

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

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
