Bird Study Just for Fun

I was looking at a few small sketches and studies that I had done from looking at Bird of Paradise plants in my garden over the past few years.  This painting takes some of those images from the watercolors and explores them in oil.  The actual plants got zapped by the freezes this past winter and had to be cut to the ground, so it may be a few more years before they produce the masses of flowers again.  The leaves are well on their way back and give amazing color and texture variations every year as they go through the seasons which is the basis of most of this piece.
