Description
African Tulip - oil on canvas
My second flower painting, and a very satisfying one. Around the time I started, these trees were in full bloom across Bangalore - and they were a lovely sight. Each individual bunch of flowers are at least a handful in size, and very colorful.The contrast of the flower against the green background in this painting, gives it a lovely fiery look.
From Wikipedia:
Spathodea campanulata, is commonly known as the African tuliptree, fountain tree, pichkari or Nandi flame.This tree is planted extensively as an ornamental tree throughout the tropics and is much appreciated for its very showy reddish-orange or crimson (rarely yellow), campanulate flowers. The flower bud is ampule-shaped and contains water. These buds are often used by children who play with its ability to squirt the water. The sap sometimes stains yellow on fingers and clothes. The open flowers are cup-shaped and hold rain and dew, making them attractive to many species of birds.
