Mom has always been fascinated with growing different kinds of orchids in our garden. I may not have a green thumb, but I can definitely appreciate the " art of greens ". Garden Orchids, oil on canvas I tend to take pictures of orchids especially those that are in full bloom. From those photos, I try to give birth to another piece of art by painting them. I painted the orchid above with the help of a picture I've taken way back. Just after the sun sets, I saw the striking blue skies just behind a newly bloomed orchid, "This needs to be captured", I thought.
