Tropical Beauty- Singapore Plumeria (Reworked)


"Tropical Beauty - Singapore Plumeria"
9" x 12" oil on gallery wrap canvas 


White plumeria blossoms, or frangipani, are especially elegant although the various pink and yellow varieties are quite lovely as well.   I love them all!  Everywhere you look there are plumeria trees throughout the Hawaiian islands.   Their blossoms are quite popular for making leis.   

I reworked this painting today and am much happier with it now. Basically, I added more violet and blue to the flowers and increased the contrast.  The earlier version may be seen by going here
