Bird of Paradise Flowers Revisited Painting

This is a revisiting of an earlier piece, three bird of paradise flowers grow up through the composition, while little circular leaves wiggle over and around, entwining them joyfully. I grew up calling these flowers strelizias and was so charmed by their local name when I moved to the US. They have so much personality, and their colors are always enchanting. The background of this piece is painted with visible, textured brushstrokes in crisp white with a blush of magenta pink blooming through. The work is painted on cradled board and can be hung as is or framed by the purchaser.
