Giant crimson Heliconia bloom, painted in splashy watercolour with some textural elements in oil pastel. This is painted on d'Arches heavyweight paper, which has a wonderful texture and quality to it.
These are some of my favourite waxy tropical blooms that grow to a height of about 10 feet, in my garden in Jamaica. The strong verticals in the image suggest the potent life force and rapid growth they display.
The painting is framed in a yellowish wooden frame and a white mount, ready to hang.
