This painting was displayed at this year’s iconic Alwun House Exotic Show in Phoenix, AZ.
Heliconias are tropical plants that collect rainwater. Here, they collect another type of water.
I love painting on wood and this piece brought me so much joy to create. I had been saving the last bits of my beloved Golden Quinacridone Crimson which is discontinued. I did a stain-style application with some GAC-100 to size the panel, so up close you can still see some of the beautiful wood grain through.
The most vibrant reds on here are a blend of Holbein vermilion and fluorescent red, so some bits of it are UV reflexive. The snake is painted in Golden metallic rich gold and shifts in the light.
This painting is sized and sealed and varnished with Kamar.
