Original Oil Painting - EVENING DANCE

One of the most highly coveted of ornamental plants, the delicate and graceful orchid represents love, refinement, beauty and strength. The artist has hit all of the same notes with this exquisite painting of a wild orchid in the evening light, surrounded by the suggestion of dragonflies, butterflies, and fireflies. This artist is known for her sophisticated colour palette and layering, and this painting reminds one of the old masters. Gorgeous in a contemporary, transitional or traditional setting, this work will stand out wherever it is hung. 

Oil on linen board, 18" x 24", framed in an elegant narrow gold frame. Available for delivery in Cambridge, Waterloo, Stratford, Dundas, and surrounding areas. 

The Artist: Jean Marshall, an oil painter born and raised in Newfoundland, Canada has not forgotten her love (and fear) of the rocky coastal waterways and the rugged cliffs, the poetic streams and the little waterfalls. She is one of the original members of the Plein Air Adirondack School of Painters founded by Publisher, Eric Rhoads. An invitation from the Publisher to join the group of masters and their friends took her work beyond the studio to the mountains & valleys of New York. Jean has taken classes from numerous renowned painters. She won the Bronze Award 2015 and the Curators Award 2019, at the Homer Watson Gallery and Museum. One of her paintings recently won a global competition and was subsequently published in an art book. Her work is collected across North America, and most recently a piece was sent to the Yukon.

Jean always using the best supplies that hold archival quality for her collectors and their families to own through generations because as Jean says “Art has meaning beyond words, filled with so many stories to see. It’s documentation.”
