This beautful orchid inspired me to contemplate the mystery of its unusual color composition and the interplay of light on its fragile structure. Surely, flowers were a source of inspiration for Impressionist painters, such as Monet and Saurat.
I see in the orchid a magnification of how the Impressionists used small, yet visible, brush strokes, pointillism techniques and color to emphasize changing qualities of light.
An Orchid from My Valentine
