It's a lifesize depiction of a Vanda flower. I used a layering technic from the classic botanical art to recreate its gorgeous pattern on the petals and selals.
Vanda coerulea, commonly known as blue orchid, blue vanda or autumn lady's tresses, is a species of orchid found in Northeast India with its range extending to China (southern Yunnan). It is known as kwaklei in Manipuri and vandaar in Sanskrit. It has bluish purple flowers which are very long-lasting compared to other orchids. The plant bears up to 20 to 30 spikes.
This artwork is unique and totally hand-drawn with archival quality watercolour paints on the 100% cotton paper by Saunders Waterford.
