Waking early to walk out and have my hot tea by the pool, I was drawn to the brilliant color in the foliage of this tropical plant! I've never seen these growing in the earth before - and it's size and color were dazzling! So, I set up my easel with my hot tea at my side, and started laying down thick paint to define those fabulous leaves! I really do love applying that thick, juicy paint - it is very satisfying indeed! What better way to start my day? Painting number 2614 in 2614 days.
