Fantasy Hibiscus II was done the same morning I painted  my bird of paradise.. I was so excited to finally paint.  For some of you that don't know I am a caregiver to my 86 year old MOM. She is now living with us. I wanted Fantasy Hibiscus II to be a companion to my Bird of Paradise painting.  They will be framed alike.  I used lots of Yellows,reds,oranges, and bright paint. Both of these florals will have a companion  of a poppy that will match the color palette. Watch for it.

The Great KiskadeePitangus sulphuratus, is a passerine bird. It is a large tyrant flycatcher; sometimes its genus Pitangus is considered monotypic, with the Lesser Kiskadee (P. lictor) separated in Philohydor.
It breeds in open woodland with some tall trees, including cultivation and around human habitation, from the Lower Rio Grande Valley in southern Texas and northern Mexico south toUruguayParaguay and central Argentina, and on Trinidad. It was introduced to Bermuda in 1957, and to Tobago in about 1970.
