Miniature Auction Painting

"Red Hibiscus" is 7" x 5",
painted in oil on Canvas mounted on board.

The hibiscus is a sub tropical plant found in temperate climates throughout the world. They are abundant in the state of Florida particularly in mid and south Florida. The flowers are large and showy with a variety of colors.

I painted this flower from some I picked in my yard. I especially like the red ones which really "jump" out at you as they are nestled among the dark green leaves of the bush. Of course, you all know that red and green are complimentary colors which causes each to be more vibrant when placed together.

Bids start at 99 cents with shipping and packaging FREE to the winning bidder. Bids may be offered until 5 pm EST. Monday August 9.
