Low hanging flower Print

I was astonished when discovering the rainforest in the Amazone. The enormous trees (this is a silk-cotton tree) with apes and birds in it, gave me a neck pain, because I was looking up all the time. In these unhuman dimensions, I was searching for the human scale; something that looks like it is ment to be made especially for me, like this flower nicely dressed for my picture. The painting is built in layers, at the base I used watercolor on paper, subsequently I glued the paper on board, gave more dept to it with gouache and shaped the final image with oil.
