Hibiscus Flower Oil Painting Monet almost cinematic depthA coral pink hibiscus blossom takes centre stage amid a lush tangle of glossy green foliage, painted in the warm, soft edged manner of a classical oil study. Delicate veining runs through the trumpet shaped petals, which blush from pale salmon at the edges to a deeper rose near the throat, while a slim stamen curves elegantly outward. Around it, broad sunlit leaves catch a gentle glow, and the background dissolves into a hazy green and amber garden.
