Orchid at Midnight
Orchid at Midnight, 38″ wide by 31.5″ high, is an acrylic on paper painting which received a Juror’s Choice award in Blossom: The Art of the Flower. This international competition was sponsored by the Susan Kathleen Black Foundation. I was deeply pleased because this is definitely one of my favorite paintings.
The orchid emerges from darkness with pronounced shadows and pastel colors glowing softly in the dim light. The heavy watercolor paper takes the paint well and lends itself to the subtle look of the bloom.
To give as a gift or to enjoy for yourself, see the giclee prints of this painting.
