Passion Flower

This is a passion flower I spotted at a friend’s home in Orlando. As soon as I saw this strange blue flower/mini-spaceship, I knew I would paint it. Passion flowers are complicated! I spent a lot of time dealing with the blue petals, if that's what they are. Each petal involved something like eight different painting operations. I also enjoyed painting the pod and the little springy things, but I began to suffer green fatigue as I painted the leaves. Occupational hazard.
