Sweet
Plumeria
Watercolor |
The sweet fragrant smell of plumeria is very commonly
found in Hawaii. Some of the first flower leis were often sewn
with this flower. These multi colored blossoms worn over the ear
indicate whether women in old Hawaiian times were available or
spoken for. Flowers worn over the right ear meant you were single
and available. Flowers worn over the left ear meant you were married
or taken. Just a little Hawaiian custom I wanted to share with
you. This painting was done as a commission piece as a wedding
gift.
