I've painted this subject before, and I am always drawn to this plant in a close up view instead of the entire bloom. I like the structural aspect of this flower, and for me, that is what it's all about; the composition. This is from a photo I took in the little town of San Sebastian, Mexico, which is up in the mountains above Puerto Vallarta. I found this blooming in the tiny cathedral courtyard of the town.
My art career began in 1964 with drawings of Godzilla in battle with squadrons of fighter jets. Fellow first graders were my early collectors for these scenes of chaos; all free for the asking. At the time, no one knew I'd rather draw cars and castles, but the Godzilla drawings were so popular and made my friends so happy, I couldn't resist.
