I started painting this incredible flower this week from the garden.  There are different designs but all in the ginger family. Its in a mango swamp so the colours are different, not quite sure how I am going to do it with the lighting.
A gorgeous plant. I've just had a look at some images online. If you're having problems with the lighting take a few photos and use them as a reference. I often do this as the light changes so quickly. I've just seen a lovely painting in your gallery 'who am I' a delightful image and one to ponder.

Thanks Carol, good idea, I will take some at 5pm, before sunset at 6pm, its like the magic hour of light shows. Might do rays, coming in from the upper left.
