Original painting - Austria - Anacamptis coriophora - Bug Orchid (100 x 70 cm)

Acrylic painting sealed.

100 x 70 cm

Anacamptis coriophora is one of a total of 26 painted orchid pictures in my project "The Orchids of the Danube-Auen National Park", on which I worked from autumn 2020 to autumn 2023.

One of the largest and most striking works of this conservation art project is Anacamptis coriophora. The vibrant colors of the blooming orchid range from pale green to light pink to scarlet-violet. The orchid stands out against a green-yellow background and also displays the species' lanceolate, narrow rosette leaves, which are very helpful for identifying the orchid before it flowers and are easily recognizable in nature. Conservation image of the species!

Due to the size of the painting, it is ideally suited as a main picture in a room, making it cheerful, elegant and lively.

The artwork measures 100 cm in height (length) and 70 cm in width. The sealed acrylic painting is mounted on a individually tailored, in available in art supply stores Stretched on a stretcher frame (approximately 1.8 cm thick).

I am increasingly using more environmentally friendly paints and materials.

I frame, prime, and undercoat many of my works myself, including this one. I skip the intermediate step of sanding the canvases, which means the painting is virtually impossible to forge, as the tiny, subtle ridges of the canvas's texture cannot be replicated. For me, these ridges represent an artistic fingerprint! In everyday viewing of the painting, these small bumps are not noticeable.
