HIbiscus Bouquet, by NY artist, Celeste Plowden
I learned the art of acrylic and pastel painting through private instruction, after having spent my career as a designer of printed fabrics in the New York market place. I am a graduate of the College of Design, Art and Architecture at the University of Cincinnati, with a major in the History of Art, 1977. Later, I studied printed textile design at Parsons School of Design, in New York. Immediately afterward, I began free lance work for several design studios in the garment district of NYC, where I did re-coloration work for printed apparel fabrics, and sold my own designs through Bread and Butter Designs,also located in New York. In addition, during the 1980's and 1990's, I designed a number of needlecraft and stencil books for Dover Publications. Currently, I am working on a series of exotic birds and other animals done in acrylic paint, with a palette knife, for texture and brilliant color. I consider my paintings to be representational or impressionistic in nature, and I use fantasy colors because what I see often makes me feel these colors,and what would make an interesting composition, rather than using realistic colors.

Daily Painting, Floral, "Red Hibiscus" 6x8" SOLD
Hibiscus is one of my favorite flowers. They are very tropical, hula girls always have them behind their ears, and they come in a variety of colors and sizes.
This is a common type that I found planted behind the Eau Gallie Library. I went there early one morning on a photo shoot, looking for stray pelicans and egrets that usually hand around the fishing pier behind the library. No birds in sight.....also no fishermen. I was just about to drive away when I noticed the flowers, turned to the morning light.
So, it was not a wasted trip after all. It is always a wonderful feeling to be out in nature in the morning stillness.
I am trying to get my art to Times Square...you can help. Just click here and click on the "collect" button at the top of the page!
Happy Weekend!

I made a few changes to the pink hibiscus painting I posted a couple of days ago - I altered
the stamen on the top flower, slightly changed the twigs and added a
touch of green to indicate leaves. See the original post hereSubscribe to Joy of Colour my daily painting blog by Email

This month's challenge in the floral forum of wetcanvas.com is Hibiscus. I searched through my hibiscus flower photos, and sketched out a couple. I eventually I came up with this arrangement. I see a few things I might change tomorrow. What would you change?

"Hibiscus Hiatus" Original Oil Palette Knife Painting by Hallie Kohn Art
My mom and I went to Washington DC in August. One place we visited was the National Gallery of Art Sculpture Garden. We spent some time sitting around the fountain in the center of the garden, which was where I captured a photo of this great flower. My favorite part though was discovering the little Pavilion Cafe, a convenient lunch location that just happened to serve icy cold sangria to hot, thirsty tourists.
