Painting #17. Back to Painting the Big Flowers ~~ Another Pull-Out-the-Stops Hibiscus

This hibiscus was growing in my sister’s yard.  I generally shy away from screaming colors but, hey, this one was trying SO hard I just had to snap its portrait and paint it.  We may need sunglasses for this one!

Painting #14 ~~ Screaming Red Hibiscus!

This is another beauty from our garden, continuing the ‘big flower’ theme for a bit.  Fortunately our three hibiscus plants made it through the winter and we might have more of these later in the summer.  Yum.
