This painting was a bit of a challenge...actually, many of them are. When there is a considerable amount of black and white in a painting such as this, I have to wait a few days in between sessions for each of these slow drying colors to set enough to paint over them.

On another note....Did you know the hibiscus flower can universally mean that it is a nice summer? In Europe, during the Victorian era and up to today, the meaning of the hibiscus flower is "delicate beauty." It is the state flower of Hawaii and generally given to visiting state officials. It's symbolizes Old Royalty and is a flower that brings power and respect. In Japan, it's meaning is "gentle."

Today's Quotation: "Every day we should hear at least one little song, read one good poem, see one exquisite picture, and, if possible, speak a few sensible words."

-Goethe

This painting was quite the challenge! It took several sessions to complete....more than I would have liked.  When there is a considerable amount of white and black in a painting such as this,  I have to wait a couple of days between sessions for each of these slow drying colors to set enough to paint over or into them.

This was painted from a photo I took of a hibiscus tree we have here. It's been blooming for years and is very beautiful. I zoned in on one flower which happened to be in front of one of my large cloud paintings. I'm happy with the outcome.
