Mesmerized, I was so close that the abstract shapes made an impression on my mind's eye.. I got a canvas and tried to capture that intense experience. Here is my orchid painting created on a gallery wrap around canvas. The sides of the canvas are 1 and 1/2 inches deep and are painted white. Overall, the painting measures 36 inches by 36 inches. It is a bold, colorful statement and an homage to a brilliant woman. Maybe you?
