"Tropical Hibiscus"
March 15, 2026
Oils on canvas
40x50cm
This is one from one of the "The Joy of Flower Painting" books by Annette Kowalski.
I was drawn to it because of the orange-green contrasts.
The two attached images show two steps of the painting process.
Wow!!! That is beautiful! Was it hard to do?
@joha59: Thank you! Yes, I also love the orange against green in this one.
@marionm: Thank you!
Not as hard as I thought it would be. I took my time with it though. Analysing the shapes of the flowers and leafs as I went.
Trying to understand the thing you are painting does help in getting it right.
Fabulous!
Lovely. The orange green combo is a winner
This I LOVE!

Super painting with that bright orange against the green and a bit of blue, but also the shape of the flowers and leaves are great!
