Orchid

24"x 18".....oil.....canvas.....for sale www.lindahuntfineart.com
This was painted from life in my home studio.  The orchid was a beautiful reproduction that I bought in an antique store.  When I saw it I just had to purchase it knowing that it would make wonderful paintings.  I chose the color combination on purpose.  I love the yellow green and blue green background.  I used Cerulean Blue along with Cobalt Blue, Lemon Yellow and 3 reds.  It was a lovely harmony.  The apple in the composition is one of the fruits from the 1950's.  You have probably seen the grapes that were resin creations on a wood limb.....they came in a myriad of colors and were extremely popular during the Modernist period.  I had never seen a whole set of fruits including an apple, orange, grapes, banana and lemon before.  Since this is my favorite period of time I had to buy them to use in my paintings.  They are clear resin and are gorgeous with the light streaming through them.  Ahhhhh.....heart throb!!!!
