Description
Anthuriums come in many colors: red, orange, purple, white, green, pink, and peach. Some varieties have more than one color on the flower, whether the colors be blended together or speckled as if somebody threw paint at them. Some flowers are cupped, some are flat, others stand upright, some are heart shaped and others in almost a tear drop shape
Anthuriums are native to Columbia but were brought to Hawaii in the late 1800’s from England and growers here then started to propagate them. The result is hundreds of unusual variegated varieties of “Obake” anthuriums. In the Japanese language “Obake” means “ghost” or “something that changes”.
My Obake anthurium painting really stands out from the black background. The upside down heart shape is delicate and romantic. The red and green colors compliment each other perfectly, and really shows off the yellow stamen.
NOTE; This painting, along with my entire inventory and art studio, was destroyed in the Lahaina fire on August 8th, 2023.
