Another inspiration from my love of all things mid-century, a 1962 Milton Bradly boxed game, “How to play Bridge,” by legendary player and teacher, Charles Goren.
The purple orchid symbolizes beauty, refinement and respect, sentiments reminiscent of values present in the TV shows I watched like, “Leave it to Beaver,” “Father Knows Best,” and “The Donna Reed Show.” I envied those fantasy families.
The mid century color story includes burnt orange, harvest gold and avocado. I added a pop of complimentary purple with the orchids.
This was done while painting left-handed when my dominant right hand was recovering from surgery. It is signed CR Lefty.
