Pale Petunia - Acrylic on Canvas 12x12

This delicate little plant are single day bloomers. They open one night and fall away the next and if you shake the plant the bloom will readily fall off. I find this fascinating because such a short blooming cycle for each bloom works for this plant. In a lot of ways I was lucky to have the opportunity to immortalize this particular bloom. It reminds me that sometimes you can get the job done in less time than it may seem not to mention it is a testimony to the industriousness of insects.
