Blue Hibiscus

15x11 watercolor on Bienfang 140 lb cold press paper painted today.  This blue hibiscus bloom was in amongst my flower photos just waiting to be sketched and completed.  Such lovely lavender hues mixed in with soft periwinkle blue and hot permanent rose centers make the species sing.  Not really blue, the pale purple hues are a soft shade that makes a garden glow.
