December Art Sale - "Tropical Beauty - Singapore Plumeria"

There are plumeria trees galore in the Hawaiian islands!   I love them all.   This oil painting of Singapore Plumeria is on gallery wrap canvas, with the sides painted as well so it may be hung unframed if desired.  Please email me if interested in this work, or if you have any questions.

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

Glorious Abundance - Peonies


"Glorious Abundance"
16" x 20" Oil on canvas

Peonies are a favorite flower of mine, but of course they do not grow in a tropical climate like Hawaii so I have to buy cut flowers from the florist to enjoy and paint.   When I lived in New England I had several peonies in my flower garden.

"The Bold and Beautiful"


8"x10" Oil on panel
$500


I loved the bold stripes of this material, but at first was not sure how they might work with the delicate gardenia blossoms.   I was rather pleased with the finished result and will use this materail again.         

Lately I have been doing more photography than actual painting, but that has got to stop!   I am currently working on 3 miniature paintings, but am anxious to begin a larger major piece.   Please return to this blog  often as I will definitely be painting more in the future than I have been lately.  Thank you for stopping by!


For more information or to purchase this painting, please contact me at  reynoldsrenditions@gmail.com      or feel free to phone me at  808.536.0650.         I will be glad to help you in any way I can.
