Frangipani / Plumeria


I believe this is the "Rainbow" plumeria.  It is really quite lovely, but difficult to try to paint.   


The photo above is of the Singapore Frangipani and is obviously mostly white.   It's soft beauty makes an impact.




Plumeria or Frangipani as they are also known as are found throughout the Hawaiian Islands and just about everywhere you look you find them, mostly as landscaping plants since they aren't found in the wild.   Next time I  post some plumeria photographs I will do more research on them and their history.   They are small trees and some lose their leaves when not in bloom and others do not.   

Hawaii is truly a paradise as it so breathtakingly beautiful and it is a constant inspiration to this artist.  There are many other flowering trees here in this beautiful State that I will share with you on this blog in the future.
