– 29 – 37 Richard Schmid (1934–2021) Orchid (2010) oil on canvas 14 × 20 inches signed lower right: Schmid 2010 VERSO Signed, titled, dated, and “#2956” Label, Gallery 1261, Denver, Colorado Describing this painting the artist wrote, “Above you see the completed fantasy, but one selectively constructed and painted from real life. Nancy says it is like a whole motion picture condensed into flash of color and form as a painting. It is a combination of what was there, what could have been there, and by their absence, all the things I chose not to include.” PROVENANCE The K. T.
