I'm from the Midwest US, and I was really blown away to see birds of paradise growing everywhere here in Southern California, even by the side of the road! In Ohio where I grew up, these are hothouse flowers, and you would never see them growing outside. This painting was inspired by a gorgeous atrium and garden surrounded by modern glass workspaces, and there had to be a gazillion huge birds of paradise growing there. I took lots of photos. I envision this piece hanging in a large conference room or shared workspace with lots of light, to bring the outside in -- yours?
