Bird of Paradise

It is experimentation time.  This is painted on a canvas, with watercolor ground as a base.  I am not sure the ground was completely dry.  I will know when I try it paint a canvas tomorrow.  The color and value seemed to run away or fade before my Eyes.  If you are wondering, yes this is watercolor.

I find these flowers intoxicating.  The color and variety of blooms are amazing.  There is a huge plant beside the door at my Florida condo.  The blooms are black.  Someday I will paint them.
