Thank you for your kind comment. I plan to visit your blog the moment I have posted this comment.<BR/><BR/>Thanks, Luci. Yes, it is a hibiscus.

I can empathize with her worry and fear. And, I certainly can understand your upset feeling. This situation is enough to raise any mother hen's feathers! The painting is absolutely fabulous.
