I painted this floral from a stem of orchids which were a part of an arrangement a friend made for my mother-in-law's funeral. My father-in-law grew orchids in his back-yard greenhouse. Marjorie, his wife, was a ceramist, doll maker, and miniaturist. She sculpted orchids of clay; at orchid shows they would both have artistic creations on display--his live orchids and her orchid pictures.
