This painting started life as a demonstration in one of my Hide-N-Seek Watercolor Workshops (see classes at www.artofaloha.com). My intention was to keep the hibiscus mostly white and to allow the background to go dark in contrast. The edges of hibiscus flowers are often ruffled and appear lacey. They feel special, like they dressed up for the ball.

Sometimes we wake up in the morning ready for a great day ahead. Other times we don’t. These flowers remind us to set our intention for having a great day by dressing the part, right from the start. When we look good, we feel good about ourselves. Go ahead, put on your best clothes today and set yourself up for having a great day.
