Birds of Paradise

"Birds of Paradise" is one of my older floral paintings inspired by the vibrant colours of the great blooms on the Strelitzia plant which grew in my garden many years ago. There were purples‚ blues‚ yellows‚ pinks‚ orange and turquoise and then the large green leaves. I decided to use pigmented inks for the background and then acrylics for the design of leaves and blooms to really make them pop.

Original painting created in Oct 2015. Signed on the front.

Professional Artist quality Art Spectrum pigmented inks and Atelier Interactive Acrylics on gallery wrapped stretched canvas. Sides painted in Sienna Brown in keeping with the colour of the painting. Ready to hang. Would look great in a timber float frame, adding a splash of colour to any bare space.
Styled scene, hanging and in situ setting with or without mat and frame is for display purposes only and is not to scale. Just to give you an idea of how this colourful floral artwork may look on your wall.
Finished with Satin Spray varnish for protection.
Signed Certificate of Authenticity is included.
