Oliver Bonhomme
Oliver Bonhomme is a French illustrator and art director with a long client list that inludes le Monde, the New York Times Magazine, The Washington Post, Apple and numerous others.
His illustrations look at first to be high in chroma, but then you realize the colors are not actually that intense, but are made to appear so by the artful juxtapositon of complimentary colors.
His subjects are often imaginative and surreal, but sharply delineated and graphically strong.

Eye Candy for Today: Martin Heade orchid
Cattleya Orchid and Three Hummingbirds, Martin Johnson Heade, oil on wood, 14 x 18 in. (35 x 46 cm), in the collection of the National Gallery of art, DC. which has a large downloadable image.
Though he also painted wonderful landscapes, Martin Heade’s standout subjects are his portrayals of exotic flowers and birds. Here, he sets a striking pink orchid against a mist enshrouded forest, and includes three rare hummingbirds and a nest with eggs.

I usually paint a small colour study for each piece, sometimes more than one if I'm not sure about the overall mood. Here I had a pretty clear idea of what I wanted. The top one is a sketch for a previous piece :)
