1655 SOLD Dutchman's Pipevine Gateway, Plein Air Alla Prima

SOLD I did this back in November, never posted it for some reason.  This is the Dutchman's Pipe vine at Heathcote Botanical Gardens here in Fort Pierce.  The vine has heart shaped leaves and very strange flowers.  Black swallowtail butterflies lay their eggs on the vines and their caterpillars eat the leaves.  This path goes to the children's garden, you can see a young banana plant in the back.

The painting is 5 x 7 inches, oil on masonite,
