Slipper Orchids is a 1934 watercolor by Blatherwick, a Art Nouveau work, held at Victoria and Albert Museum.
This painting shows two slipper orchids in watercolor. The flowers are pale green and white, with one blooming fully and the other still a bud. The background is mostly dark blue, with some green and brown streaks that look like rough brushstrokes. The paint is loose and watery, almost like inkblots. The petals have a soft, fuzzy look, and the colors blend into each other. Next, check out the Victoria and Albert Museum to see more works like this.
