"Yellow Frangipani in a glass bottle", 8x10, oil on panel

My yellow frangipanis are finally blooming and they are drop dead gorgeous this year!
I picked one and set it up in this arrangement below and I was struck by how much it looked like a fleur de lis.



I love painting glass bottles. While challenging, they are infinitely more interesting to paint with their myriad reflections and idiosyncrasies.
