I have no idea what this flower is. It reminds me of a Bird of Paradise…but the colors and shapes are different. It’s similar. I am going to post this in stages. I am trying to decide whether lighter is better. As I go, I will re-evaluate to see when I think the piece is finished. I think it will be interesting to see how the piece evolves in stages, and I think that will help me in the works ahead.
