Hibiscus Syriacus 2

I did 2 paintings with these flowers, didn't want to post them together. Not sure, but get the feeling that if one post more than one painting on the same subject, the 2nd one doesn't get the same attention, perhaps cause of the fact that one just saw a similar painting.

Walking around the area where I live and photographing the lovely flowers that can be found, I took a lot of photos of bushes with these flowers. There where bushes with white flowers and bushes with blue/purple ones. I had no idea what they were called when I painted them, but thought I had to look them up. When I saw the name, I got an "aha" experience. It's a Hibiscus flower (Hibiscus Syriacus to be exact).
I tried to keep the painting simple, but still expressive, spontaneous and done with bold brush work.
