I did this painting also as a choice for my Philadelphia friends…also in acrylic on a 30″x40″ canvas…My intent was to paint flowers that expressed the passion and joy that surrounds creative people…the reference photo for this painting was from a trip to Butchart Gardens in Victoria Canada—55 acreas of stunning flower show…I took my children there over 15 years ago in a camper…even children ‘got’ the magnificience of the place.
