Hibiscus
Here's an attempt at watercolor in many YEARs... I painted this Hibiscus that was right outside the window at the Guesthouse we stayed in Oahu. I gave this piece as a gift the the Host family.
Ah. There are pink, ( very )dark red, yellow( from golden-ish to very pale ), even white ones, as many others - as those flower plants can be crossed with others from the same species( but I don´t know how it is spell in English, sorry )by cut and tying, the variations are very wide, eitehr by color, shape or size... !
I am changing as I speak...only God knows where I'll be.
I am a Mom to an amazing little boy, who happens to be severely allergic to multiple foods. We started farming when we realized that the foods we eat can affect us. My Mom had watched a doc where kids in Japan who had severe food allergies were either cured or their allergies reduced when taken out of a heavily polluted environment (city) & fed Organic food exclusively. We don't have the means to move, so we decided we'll start w/the organics. That led to farming our own produce as the organic label is exorbitant. As we dove in head first to grow our own food, a whole new world opened up: GMOs, EMFs, Vaccinations, all linked to injuries and illness. We actually give thanks to God for our sons allergies. It's given us a new perspective of the world.
I'm also a formally trained Animator, Illustrator and Graphic Artist. I do wish I have more time to do more creative things, but for now, my responsibilities to my son's safety are my top priority.

Puuuurrrrrrty!
Beautiful!
( Those flower species are know as "mimo-de-vĂȘnus" here in Brazil... actually, my granfather´s home entrance had an alley with them )
Thank you,
That must be a lovely sight to have an alley full of these! I had never seen pink ones before, so I just had to paint them.
