    Pink Hibiscus Framed

    Thank you Tammy, but as you can see I already have a painting of my pink hibiscus, in oil done by my dear departed father, and he did this one from memory of his visit to us, as a surprise for me.

    Susie the flower is beautiful...but the painting is magnificent. And is was done by memory. What an amazing talent your DF was. Absolutely gorgeous.

    I too love the flower and the painting, and the story of the painting is very touching.
