Mexican Bird of Paradise

15x22 watercolor on 140 lb cold press paper of blooms on what we call Mexican bird of paradise bushes.  These brilliant colored gold, hot pink, and red flowers are vividly seen in the Texas and Arizona landscape which I have made up in the background. At my studio there are several of these small specimens growing in the backyard.  This work is SOLD!
