Bougainvillea

Acrylic painting on smooth finish Ampersand artist panel, 8" X 10". I did not like painting on this surface and I'm glad I only bought 2 panels to try out.  I am making cards of this one and will have up on my website later today.

The painting was from my photo of  flowers that I saw in Eilat, Israel while on the trip this past winter. We don't have them in New Hampshire, but they grow in southern and warm climates (including Australia according to my teacher). I had fun playing with the background first using a sponge - see my post earlier this month. The flowers come in many colors and look very beautiful. I saw them hanging from fences there.
