About Orchids

Two slender orchid stems rise from a base of broad, dark green leaves at the bottom of the frame, arching left and right across the middle. Each stem carries a row of open white phalaenopsis blooms with soft grey shading in the petals and small orange-red and yellow markings at the throat, with a few closed buds tapering off at the tips. Behind them the background is divided into rectangles of amber, ochre, rust, deep brown and muted teal, with a faint scroll motif top left and a stamped medallion top right.

The effect is calm and decorative rather than botanical: the warm colour blocks glow behind the flowers, while the leaves at the base sink into near-black. Surfaces in the background look mottled and lightly worn, like aged plaster, which keeps the crisp white petals as the clear focus.

Suits warm-toned living rooms, dining walls and entries with timber, rattan or terracotta accents. It works above a sideboard or a console with a lamp, and holds its own in a bedroom above a bedhead. Pairs well with brass fittings, olive or rust cushions and cream walls that pick up the amber panels.
