The Hibiscus ~ Egg Tempera 6x6 © Nelia Harper
Hibiscus Archival Print

In the Victorian era, the hibiscus flower represented delicate beauty.  In Hawaii, the hibiscus is often worn behind the ear as a sign of a woman’s marital status and as a symbol of hospitality.  In Egypt, the flower was used as a medicinal calming tea.  As I painted this flower over four months, I was reminded of Buddha’s Flower Sermon in which words are not required to understand its meaning.

For me, the story represents that the world and all of beauty exists in the one flower and that nothing is permanent.  And, that painting this flower contains all the lessons of painting within this one painting.
