Pastel Painting...Pink Poinsettia

'Pink Holiday' 5x7

I grew up in South Florida and we actually had 3 poinsettia trees in our yard. And some years they were covered in red blooms. I love the pink ones though. They are so delicate. I decided to do a macro painting of a poinsettia today. This is from a photo taken out of the Reference Image Library on Wet Canvas...thanks to Lisilk who has the most wonderful photos.
