Banana Trees Detail, a Few Days Later

Now that the upper part of the painting is at least roughed in, I've started to add foreground foliage. Philodendron abounds, especially in northern Kauai, and shell ginger even grows along some roadsides. I love the form of the well-named flowers. Using a white pencil, I've sketched a bromeliad-like plant and ferns to paint next.
