RED HIBISCUS
As some of you know, Mrs. Trowbridge's mother taught her watercolor and scribing. I have sometimes wondered what her mother's paintings looked like. There is no record of any of her mother's work in her journal. It is sometimes difficult to choose which of Mrs. T's tropical flower paintings to choose from, for they are all so lovely, but this week I chose another hibiscus that she painted in honor of her South Seas ancestors.

ask mrs. towbridge what size these are... They are stunning~!
Incredible! So, the journey to the South Seas allowed you to view some of Violets favorites. What an awesome floral interpretation. Did Mrs. Trobridge leave behind any of her preliminary sketches.
And wouldn't this make someone a lovely Valentine!
What I love is that you get the feel of the flower the waxiness of the Plumeria, and the soft velvet feel of the Hibiscus. They are beautiful.
This is a painting? Wow! This is beautiful.
Perfect choice Bron! This is stunning.
AMAZING! The color on this hibiscus is just gorgeous!

i remain as always, your fan girl forever. the flower series is remarkable.
A very beautiful hibiscus. I'm especially fond of the deep orange ones. Thanks for stopping by too.
This is rich and glorious! I love the hibiscus flower - reminds me of the few years I lived in the Caribbean so long ago. Seeing this makes me feel like the sun is shining on me right now! The rendering of this is perfect...bravo! (oops...brava...sorry Mrs. T.:>)
Your flowers are something special Bron!they are super incredible! You have many facets that I am sure you will share...

Very nice. Did I ever answer your question about the homeless signs? I buy them from the homeless. :-)

The play of shadow and light is incredibly beautiful. These are wonderful paintings.
Thank you so much for the comments you have left me. They really don't even compare to these paintings though. They are a lot of fun to look at.
Oh..I did use prisma colors on actually on all my drawings so far. They work really nicely!
Again, thank you for being so kind.
