I finished this 8×10″ acrylic painting today, inspired by the hibiscus I’m growing on my porch garden.  It’s  on stretched canvas and the sides are painted a  dark green.

I’ve tried to capture the brilliance of this bloom that lasts only a day.  I’ve used layers and layers of reds and greens and yellows.  The background is smooth and the flower itself more textured.

This painting is for sale through Etsy here.  It’s $50, including shipping and handling.  There are also prints, card, t-shirts, skins and other items available through RedBubble here.

I’m in the process of documenting and posting more of my art.  Stay tuned for that.
