This variety of heliconia … the “sexy pink” is very exotic looking. I only recently came across it in St. Lucia. We do have a wide range of heliconias … my other favorite is the yellow and red “lobster claw”.
Originally, this was a realistic painting, but I decided it was too busy and I wanted to experiment with carving out the negative space. From there I decided to contrast the realism of the flower with colour blocks. The turquoise is from Paris … Sennelier acrylic … my kind of souvenir.
Beautiful !
A really sexy flower 😉
and I like the graphic and boldcolored background very much
Thank you, Martine! It is very different for me, but with these small paintings, it’s nice to experiment!
Love the colors! Beautiful painting!
Thanks!
