Simple strokes, profound elegance

A dozen of strokes, one-stroke style, is an Orchid made, using Chinese brush. The first four are my own works, completed in swift succession. The last one is a picture of a wall decor (the chinese brush rendering of the Orchids and the chinese character for the same) taken inside the Ivory Mandarin Bistro at Dunedin, when we were treated to a tasty lunch by Betty and Mr. Toh, a couple who has settled in Palm Habor more than twenty years ago.
