WATERFALL HIBISCUS Mao hau hele ~ Tropical Botanical Flower Floral Art Print

Description: WATERFALL HIBISCUS Artist: Gay Corran (CLICK HERE TO SEE MORE TROPICAL FLOWER PRINTS FROM THIS SERIES !!) This is a lovely artistic watercolor botanical print printed in hawaii in 1979. The lithograph presents the plant in the common composition of a floral print, as a close-up of the species on its own on a white background sans any landscape. The colors are vibrant in the leaves, petals, bulb, and stem and the drawing shows a definite artistic quality. With continued loss of habitat, these warm climate plants are of interest to the biologist and naturalist and may be subject to conservation, unable to be picked or transplanted from their temperate environment. Fortunately, such flora can often be found in a nursery or horticulture design center. To see more prints from this series, please see our other auctions. Would make a great gift for the garden botanist or gardener. Fine wall accent in a bath room or for Laura Ashley decor. DESCRIPTION OF FLOWER: I picked the graceful pink hibiscus from the roadside on my way to the Wilcox Memorial Hospital in Kauai, where my daughter was recovering from acute appendicitis. I found its quiet pendulous charm just as appealing as that of the more showy members of the family. And I found the Wilcox Hospital made a good temporary studio and my daughter a good recovery. I therefore gratefully dedicate this painting to the G. N. Wilcox Memorial Hospital. ARTIST BIOGRAPHY: Gay Corran was born in Cambridge, England, during the war. In 1958/59 she came to Hawaii for the first time to spend a year with her grandfather, and attended Punahou School. After her return to England, she went into teaching, more by luck than good management, and taught Art at Boys Preparatory Boarding School for two years. From there she married, far too young, a clever cricketing mathematician and had five children in seven years. After recovering from this mistaken effort to populate Southern England with artistic cricketers, she started painting again and, rather to her own surprise, met with immediate success. She would recommend this particular route to career in art to no one, but began to find that her strongly stated flower pictures "walked off the walls" as soon as she put them up. A friend in Bermuda, where her parents live, began to sell her paintings from his art gallery and published a series of books of Her Bermuda Flowers, and also notelets. After this success came a book of English Autumn flower Prints. And in 1979, twenty years after her first visit, Gay was back in the islands with her family, doing water colors for Hawaii Flowers. Her original paintings are sold from Heritage House, Hamilton, Bermuda; from several English galleries; and from her own sixteenth century house, Mannings Hill, Cranleigh, Surrey, England. SIZE: Print size is 8" x 11" CONDITION: Condition is excellent. Blank on reverse. Printed on thick cardboard stock paper.
