The orchid paintings have all been scanned.
However, whereas the cartouche looked okay as a small pencil title, it really does not enlarge well
because:
a) The cartouche was about 2-3cm in size on
rough paper – so there was unacceptable
clumsiness and wobbly lines.
b) The light pencil marks were lost in
translation
c) An enlargement of the original size called for more
spohisticated design work
d) Designing a cartouche sitting on the
beach is not my best! So each cartouche was redesigned at a
larger scale and swopped on the scans.
Playful designs, a mix of styles, vaguely Art
Deco, not necessarily to be read and relaxing to do.
Yingluck is the middle name of the orchid: AscocondoYingluck
Shinawatra
Jude's Lenten Orchid is one that my friend
Jude has nurtured and it always blooms round about Easter. The Slipper Orchid
is so named (it's common name, not my invented title) because the front part
resembles a slipper. Moth Orchid is another name for the Phalaenopsis and Changi is the name of Singapore Airport where we were greeted with mass displays of orchids.
I'm getting there...
These are super, Lin.
