Passion Flower, genus passifloraceae, grows almost all over the world. It grows wild here, in Washington Parish, Louisiana. I am delighted when I find it blooming and fruiting on a tangled vine. The name "passion" refers to the passion of Christ in Christian mythology.
The flower is complicated. I had to study the multiple layered parts in order to create these pictures. It is not like a simple daisy that can be painted with ten quick brushstrokes. I enjoyed learning about the unusual parts and creating these pictures.
Passion flower is a favorite of pollinators, bees and hummingbirds. Seeing hummingbirds flying around and sipping on the flowers makes my day. The leaves and roots have a long history of medicinal usage for anxiety and sleep. It makes a delicious fruit.
Inspiration for the woman's face is Audrey Hepburn, one of the most elegant women of all times.
Prints may be ordered from Saatchi on line.
