I wanted to challenge myself to go bigger; this piece is twice as tall as my others in the series. I saw this hibiscus flower on my way into work at the Torpedo Factory Art Center and it became the star of the show for this new piece. I also visited greenhouses around DC, looking for as many tropical plants and especially orchids as I could find, including the United States Botanic Garden & Hillwood Estate.
