The title, “Orchid Fall”, refers both to the color and the season during which it was made.  It was in October and I was surrounded by all this beautiful fall foliage and shades of yellow, orange, and red.  Everything with this piece was going along normally, but all of a sudden one night, I just had this irresistible urge to completely paint the whole thing bright pink!  The Pantone “color of the year” in 2014 was “Orchid”, which I obviously used a lot of in this painting.  I guess you could say this is a defiant piece, but in a good-natured way. I had to give in to the changing season but I figured it could go out with a big pink bang.
