HIBISCUS DELIGHT

               DAY 16 OF THE LESLIE SAETA 30 PAINTINGS IN 30 DAYS CHALLENGE

This hibiscus was painted from a photo I took of the flowers at the San Diego Zoo.  I know, I took some animal pictures too, but these hibiscus really caught my eye!!  They were the most unusual ones I had ever seen and they were huge!!!  They were growing near where the Flamingos are kept (in case you are ever there and want to see them.    This was definitely a challenge (for the challenge) and I'm happy with it for my first attempt.  I'd decided to try it as I finally had a day free to paint and I ended up spending most of the day doing the painting.  Something easier tomorrow, please!

I tend not to like the grain of the canvas to show through so have found adding a layer or two of gesso on most canvases seems to help--sand after each one for some tooth.
