Vanda Tokyo Blue Sapphire Bloom Close Limited Edition Print
In 2012-2014, artist Kevin G. Saunders embarked on an ambitious project in collaboration with Liz and Don O'Toole of E.D. Huntington Orchids and Tropicals. The O'Tooles curated their best award-winning orchids and provided them to Kevin to create a massive Limited Edition Collection, transforming them into fine art prints through a meticulous process.
The Creative Process
Kevin aimed to capture the beauty of these stunning plants through macro and ultra-high-resolution photography. He creates composite images by blending up to 100 individual photographs into a single artwork that reflects the texture and depth of a painting. In this collection, almost all of the orchids are presented in groups of three:
1) A large image of the entire plant, showcasing its majesty.
2) An image focusing on the bloom itself, capturing its delicate form.
3) A detailed close-up of the bloom, revealing the intricate beauty often overlooked by the naked eye.
A collector may display these images together for a dramatic gallery wall or individually to complement any space.
The Editions
The collection is available in several editions, each offering a distinct viewing experience.
Grand Scale Edition: 54-120 inches on the long side, limited to 6 prints.
Large Edition: 40-53 inches, with 15 prints available.
Medium Edition: 31-40 inches, offering 25 prints.
Small Edition: 22-30 inches, with 100 prints.
Unlimited Edition: Sized between 16-20 inches, these are freely available and are signed but not numbered.
A Tribute
This collection is largely the result of the dedication of Liz and Don O'Toole. Their expertise in selecting the most exquisite orchids was crucial to its creation. Unfortunately, Don has since passed away, but their legacy continues through this art. Kevin expresses his deepest gratitude to them, acknowledging that this collection would not have been possible without their passion and involvement.
The collection features over 100 images, with new works added regularly, ensuring that this art project remains a living and evolving tribute to the beauty of orchids.
Ordering limited edition prints online can be impractical due to various factors, such as edition numbers, availability, and framing options. This catalog provides a way to view the images you love, available in different sizes and with or without frames.
