Original artwork description:
Cirrhopetalum lepidum, Wild Orchids of Asia is the complete title.
Acrylic colour on handmade thai mulberry paper(kada sa),deckled edges, 8 x 11 in., 20 x 28 cm.
I’m an orchid collector and grower. To me these epiphyte plants are floating nature sculptures and a great inspiration to me. Often the flowers appear very briefly to change the complete look of an otherwise sleepy foliage attached to a tree trunk. And yes, there are orchids whose flowers look like this…
I use a traditional mulberry paper handmade in Thailand. It’s a thick parchment like paper, strong yet pliable. The paper is handmade to this size to get the unique, uneven deckled edges which adds to the overall textural effect.
The close up picture is to get a feel for the texture and brush strokes of the painting.
For framing, leave the decorative edges exposed! They are an integral part of the composition.
