Ground Orchid

I have just finished recolouring my small painting of flowers, the white and the pink ground orchid. It took around 4 days to complete the recolouring works. 

Ground Orchid

Title: Ground Orchid

Size: 20.9 cm × 14.6 cm

Media: Watercolour on paper

Artist: Charles Roring

Orchid flowers do not wilt easily. The flower plant is beautiful and stands firm on the ground. In West Papua, this terrestrial orchid grows on hills or slopes whose ground is mostly composed of limestone with very thin layer of soil. This limestone hill is often dry and hot. It is an unfavorable environment for plants to grow well. However, the ground orchid Spathoglottis plicata could grow well in that harsh environment.

In human life, this is the kind of characteristics that a leader should have, i.e. having a love for nature or environment; having a strong connection with her grassroot; able to adapt with the challenging condition. 

Well, back to the discussion about artwork. This is a watercolour painting whose sketch was drawn years ago, in 2015. I left it in my sketchbook for more than 10 years. Now I have completed the colouring works and it is ready to be framed. I will decorate the wall of my house with this painting.
