After a perfect day in a Pacific paradise, the sun is setting over Hawaii, and the
fading rays of sunlight glow on a single hibiscus blossom, in the final moments of its
one, brief day of beauty.

The hibiscus we like to associate with Hawaii is not actually a native variety to the
islands. It traveled there from across the orient, along with the immigrants from those
lands, who came to work on the sugar and pineapple plantations, but that takes nothing
away from the exotic appeal of the flower. I chose the Japanese, porcelain spoon and
bowl to use for this still-life painting, to carry out the theme of an exotic, tropical
paradise, at the romantic ending of the day.
Giclee fine-art prints of this painting are available.
