My father's garden: Golden dancing orchids

Inspired by the radiant blooms commonly found across Singapore, this painting features the Oncidesa Goldiana, affectionately known as the Dancing Lady Orchid. With its vivid yellow petals adorned with tiger-like stripes and spots, the flower seems to leap with joy—graceful and untamed.

Often seen cascading in cheerful sprays, this orchid’s lively form and bold hues reflect both elegance and resilience—a quiet celebration of life in full bloom. Set against a calming teal background, each blossom seems to glow, as if dancing in sunlight, carrying whispers of tropical warmth, memories of old gardens, and the timeless beauty of nature’s design.
