The Giant and the Dwarf
Title
The Giant and the Dwarf
Description
In The Giant and the Dwarf two different orchid plants are shown in juxtaposition to one another against a background of blended light mauve, green, and yellow. On the right are light purple orchids with yellow and white accents. They have a green palm-like leaf. This plant is truncated by the edge of the canvas at both the top and the bottom. On the right side of the painting is a white orchid with red, yellow, and light pink accents. This plant is also about half the size as the other one.
