Orchid

This is actually an orchid mural. Start this project during month of Feb, just when my kid start to mimic me and put up some drawing on the wall with a color pencil and since it’s going to be Chinese New Year at that time, thought of just repaint the wall but then got an idea of put up a painting. Initially it’s about tropical fruits since this mural is near our dining table but then i might not have enough time to finished it, so i stick to orchid and it’s also my favourite flower.

The mural is about 5 X 4 feet. Not too large but still require some amount of work. Hope you like this painting and have a great week ahead.

Borneo Delight

Got this photo from my father, the Kuching house orchid has just bloom. Sweet fragrance is again in the air. The smell is so strong one might even notice it from 5 feet away. Very seldom the “Borneo Orchid” bloom with more then two flowers at each time. So that is what my father mention and of course the smell is quadruple in strength. The origin of this orchid might be from Lundu, a small town almost to the border of Sarawak and Indonesia. The small town is famous for it’s catch of wild boar and occasionally mouse deer but nowadays it is more well know for it’s flora, such infamous rafflasia flower can be found nearby the town. Have not seen them yet, may be one of this days. Hope you like this painting.
