I was surprised there wasn't a thread of our favorite orchid art, so I figured I would start one.
The first piece of artwork is done in charcoal. During Christmas 2004, my good artist friend asked me what I wanted, and I asked him to draw me an orchid. So he drew a Phal and gave me the exact plant he drew
Unfortunately, I don't have the plant anymore, but the drawing is framed and hanging in the hallway. I was very impressed by his attention to detail to even the bud scars!
The second is a watercolor painting by a Michigan artist named
Robin Street-Morris. It is of
Neofinetia falcata variety Hisui which I am especially fond of because "hisui" means Jade (my name!) I absolutely adore Ms. Street-Morris' artwork, especially her orchids and waterlilies. If only I weren't a starving college student; I already spend so much money on orchids
