Not many people know that the poinsettia is actually a shrub, or small tree. We are so used to seeing them in a small foil covered pot. I once lived in an apartment that had one planted in the front. We actually decorated it for Christmas. It was about 8 feet tall, and even though the branches were sparse it was really pretty.
I really enjoyed painting this, and it came together fairly quickly. I am working on my tendency to overwork. This is for Day 6 of Sea Dean’s Art Party.
Thanks for visiting!
