Art PRINT - Tropical Banana Leaves Evening in watercolor

Description

Art Print of a watercolor painting - tropical banana leaves as darkness falls assuming rich and unusual hues of forest green, golden yellow, purple, violet, cobalt blue and teal.

A wise painting teacher of mine once told me, "Never fall in love with your own work."

But I love this painting. Can't help it.

As I've mentioned in other listings, our Jamaican getaway is enveloped by a large swath of these tall, swaying banana leaves. They flap and flutter in the breeze during the day and become still during the evening, save for the lizards that scuttle across their flanks.

When the sun falls, their colors change, the shadows deepen. But they retain their sensuous shapes, each with its own personality. They are like a crowd of silent onlookers, watching over us during the night.

This listing is for a print reproduction of my original watercolor, "Negril Nightfall", a lush landscape painting of the view from our verandah one evening in Negril, Jamaica.

The full print sheet measures: 18 x14 inches
The actual printed image area measuring: 14x10 inches.

Printed on HP Aquarella Art Paper, 14.4 mil, 93% opacity,this warm-white paper captures the vivid colors of the original with a matte, textured surface, giving the print the feel and appearance of an actual watercolor painting.

This print is hand signed by me, the artist, on the front border.

This listing is for the print only, mat and frame are NOT included.

Due to its large size, this print will be shipped rolled in a tube, U.S. Priority Mail within the United States, and USPS First class mail everywhere else.

Many of my original paintings and drawings have been featured on my daily art blog, also known as The Night Shift, and often are accompanied by a brief story, poem or comment: http://vhmckenzie.blogspot.com/
