New Floral Painting Sketch

Hi Everyone, Well it's been so far a hot crazy summer here in Ottawa! Have also had a hard time returning to work after my California vacaction.

Before starting my 3rd Cinque Terre - Manrola painting, I figured I would warm up with a floral. This is my rough sketch idea of beautiful white Frangipanis for my next painting. I just love these tropical flowers and thought I would paint them on a large canvas. "Caribbean Gems"
