Tropical Hibiscus Bouquet - Flowers in Vase with Matisse Inspired Wallpaper Painting

This composition includes a bouquet of tropical flowers, with red and pink hibiscus blooms paired with a large fern leaf and a couple of birds of paradise, in a small glass vase on a tablecloth of fiery pinks and oranges, patterned with blue and purple beach peas (fue sina) - a kind of sweet pea that grows on beaches along the islands of Samoa, and other rather magical places. I painted this in celebration of a friend's marriage, using vibrant colors representative of my friend's personality and the effervescent joy she adds to situations. The background wallpaper was inspired by Matisse cutouts.
