I am glad to share an acrylic painting I completed on a Saturday afternoon. Painted on canvas, it features a sunset scene in my home garden where a pair of Great Hornbills perch on a branch of one of two Frangipani trees in yellow and pink in full bloom. Other plants in bloom are plumbago in light blue, red penda flowers, a Texas Sage plant with silvery green leaves and purple-pink flowers, and bougainvillaea in purple and another in pink and white a dwarf white jasmine shrub.
