On the way down to my greenhouse this morning to check on my seedlings, I snapped a picture of my current work in progress, an acrylic tropical landscape painting with two red bungalows called Tropical Getaway. This is where I’m at as of last night. Below are some earlier pictures.
The above is the underpainting and the little quaint red bungalows; below is the first addition of adding the jungle like foliage. I would love a front yard like that, but I’ve always loved plants and they have never needed to have a flower attached to them for me. I am a green lover. 
While browsing on the net, this photo caught my eye and I’d like to give credit to the photographer (although I’ve changed up the painting from the original photo so not to copy it exactly). As soon as I find the photo again, I’ll give credit. There are a lot of photos that look similar because this is a museum called the Jim Thompson House in Bangkok. Wouldn’t you love to stay here? I would.
UPDATE: To see the tropical landscape painting a little further along, click here for this blog post. Or you can now purchase a print online of this painting here in my shop.
Looks fabulous! Beautiful painting. I agree – it looks like a charming place to stay.
Thank you Eva! I hope you’re doing well. So glad you stopped by.
Lovely painting, Jaime! I would love to stay there. I am craving green and warm weather. Spring is coming, but it was COLD today.
Love the different textures and colors of a green garden, but I do love my flowers. 🙂
Hope your seedlings are doing well. Planted anything exciting this year?
Thank you Anne, I really appreciate the feedback. I am craving warmer weather myself. Spring has got to get here! Don’t get me wrong, I love flowers too!
My seedlings are doing well. Although I only have 2 flats this year. I usually have about 400+ tomato seedlings, peppers and various flower seedlings but this year I didn’t sell my heirloom tomatoes. I’m trying to paint more and get ready for a show the first weekend in May.
Love the tropical painting! Makes me want to step into it and be there.
Thank you so much Lindy! I have always had a love for all things tropical. It is a dream to live in a tropical setting. I’d be willing to put up with frizzy hair to live where I could grow tropicals all year around outside!
