Red and Green Alive! Bright red anthuriums
with their heart shaped leaves. 15" x 25"
 
Fuschia. The fuschia is such a complex flower with its hanging stamen, brightly colored petals and contrasting sepals. This is one of my earliest designs and I still enjoy it. 10.5" x 20"
Calla Lily. I have always loved the close-up of flowers that Georgia O'Keefe was known for. This calla lily was inspired by those O'Keefe images.
5.5" x 8.75"
 
Hummingbird and Cactus. It is impossible to capture the true irridescence and changing colors of hummingbirds. Instead of trying to reproduce the hummingbird coloring exactly, I have tried to capture the colors that are so striking in the hummingbirds in Arizona - deep purple, that almost looks black, magenta and brilliant blue-green. All set off by lighter colored under-feathers. I've combined this spectacular bird with the bright red cactus flower.
16" x 17" high.
 
Ladybug. This is a child's eye view of the
garden - bees, flowers and ladybugs.
15" x 24.5"
 
Plumeria. Plumeria are such a common flower in Hawaii and so beautiful and fragrant, that I just had to try and bring their essence together in glass. 6" diameter.
 
Plumeria 2, 6" diameter.
