In my native country, Spain, spring usually arrives with flourishing Bougainvilleas.

Vibrant magenta flowers cascade down sunbaked facades, their emerald leaves a dazzling canvas. Bees humming a joyful tune – the sound, the sight, the essence of my childhood.

Moving to Texas was a delight – to see my beloved Bougainvillea thriving here, with blooms just as vibrant and abundant.

The joyous buzz of bees and the promise of a season filled with life and color are brought forward year after year by this gorgeous plant.

• Paper dimensions = 11 x 15 inches

• Original watercolor on paper.

• Ships unmated and unframed. Fits a range of standard ready-made frames. I recommend a 16” x 20” frame with a 11” x 14” mat.

• Painted on archival Arches 100% cotton rag paper with the finest artist quality watercolor paints. I choose colors with a high degree of lightfastness to create works of art what will last lifetimes.
