Firecracker

These miltoniopsis orchid can brighten any small space. The rich velevetty red petals are elegantly contrasted by the thick creamy stems and the lush yellow green leaves. Small enough to fit in a small space, bright enough bring joy to entire room on the greyiest of rainy days. The use of oils blended with cold wax creates an amazing texture...from the pebbly background to the ruffly edge of the orchid, this is all about texture. Mixed media on canvas. 35.6 cm x 45.7 cm. 2010
