"Red Canna Lilly"

My husband and I spent fifteen years living and working in Mexico and we will always love the adventure of being in Mexico. I saw this lilly in a garden on the campus of the University of Virginia Tech in Blacksburg where we were living at the time. The Lilly reminded me of a garden we visited in San Miguel. It was full of Canna Lillies of all shades and colors and suddenly I felt as if I was standing in that same garden listening to the sounds of Mexico. This image was painted from life and all the rich colors of Mexico are represented in the bold elegance of the Lilly.
