This large painting has huge impact and has proved
to be a fairly popular image for I have had a
number of commissions to paint this flower; each
seems to get bigger and bolder. One gallery owner
noticed that people crossed the road to come and
see it!
I find the Bird of Paradise to be almost animal-like
with big, bold petals and stamens that reach out to
you. The colours are so vibrant they challenge the
artists palette.
