Description
Radiant Orchard is a dreamy landscape done in misty shades of lilac, pink, lavender and yes, the trendy new Pantone color of the year: radiant orchid, along with more vivid reds and deep blues and violets.
*****
The painting technique required a delicate balance between loose, wet, intuitive brushstrokes and careful control. I began creating this painting in a meditative state, acting on intuition and allowing the water to move naturally and colors to mix in interesting and not entirely predictable ways. Sometimes a painting tells me what it wants to be during the process of creation. In this case, I knew I wanted to experiment with mixing radiant orchid and colors that would be attractive with it, and to achieve a soft and enticing landscape effect with the subject being feminine flowering trees. As the painting developed, I began to feel that something stronger and more vivid belonged in the foreground, offering a sense of individual identity to one of the trees. (Now, it brings to mind a diva and her backup group.) The result, I think, is a fairly bold color statement, and if any other statement is being made, I leave that to the viewer to interpret.

According to:
http://www.pantone.com/pages/pantone/pantone.aspx?pg=21128&ca=10
Radiant Orchid is a modern, and highly versatile shade. While the 2013 color of the year, Pantone Emerald, served as a symbol of growth, renewal and prosperity, Radiant Orchid reaches across the color wheel to intrigue the eye and spark the imagination,� said Leatrice Eiseman, executive director of the Pantone Color Institute�. �An invitation to innovation, Radiant Orchid encourages expanded creativity and originality, which is increasingly valued in today�s society.�
�An enchanting harmony of fuchsia, purple and pink undertones, Radiant Orchid inspires confidence and emanates great joy, love and health. It is a captivating purple, one that draws you in with its beguiling charm.�

Radiant Orchard is currently priced and available as framed and matted, with a black mat and frame. For photos of the original painting as framed, contact the artist directly. Or better yet, go see it in person at the incomparable St. Mark's Coffee House in Denver, Colorado, where it will be on display along with many of my other works, for the months of March and April 2014.
