Description: Summer In my garden brings the most delightful experiences and Pride of Barbados is one the most spectacular flowering plants that can be viewed from my solarium. Its flowers are vibrant yellow, orange, and fiery red. I knew there must be an enchanting way to combine this most spectacular flora and my beloved niece and model, Shasta Chez’, who had just recently renewed her vows. These two exquisite subjects intertwined into the painting, “Blossoms for the Bride”.
