its violent history, hundreds to flower varieties grow in the land of Haiti.
The fuchsia is one such variety. Eardrop in shape with dangling petals, the
tropical species of these hanging blooms blossom year round. Ranging from
bright red to purple-blue, their colorful vividness attracts the hummingbirds
that pollinate them. Similarly vibrant hued flowers are held over the head of
the merchant in Wilson Bigaud’s “Marchande de Fleurs.”
This painting measures 24” by 26”.
