FineArtAmerica Flower Prints

Now that the weather is getting a little bit dryer in south Florida, I've been able to go out and enjoy these two varieties of flowers that pretty much bloom year round. Although the originals have gone on to their new homes, prints and cards can be found here. You can also click the FineArtAmerica image.

Plumbago or Embeleso Original Oil painting

Plumbago auriculata is native to South Africa, and is a popular ornamental plant in subtropical gardens in Florida, Cuba and other warm-winter climates across the world. My friend has a huge brick planter in front of her house with this plant and I've been meaning to paint an "embeleso" or plumbago for some time now.  They remind me of Cuba. When I was little, my mom showed me how to string them together to make leis. What a fun way to keep a little one busy!
