Oil on canvas, stretched and ready to hang.
Signed on the front.
Tropical scenes make me happy. The Bird of Paradise flower is a proud strong flower, and stands tall above ferns and other foliage, like its saying "look how beautiful I am'.
I painted the background in acrylic to give the impression of light shining through foliage. I wanted the flower to jump out at the viewer so I decided to use oil to get the textures in the leaves and flowers.
