NEW watercolor of BIRDS of PARADISE

Birds in Paradise --- this beautiful subject was found on my recent trip to Hawaii.

I was in a small market in KONA HAWAII. There were 5 gallon buckets of flowers available for sale.

Buckets and buckets of lush tropical flowers filled the tent.

These buckets of birds of paradise -- and helconium.

I am hopeful that this will turn out as lush as I intend.
