Camellia on Wood

This is a 12″ x 14″ oil on wood that I actually painted last week. The flowers are from the camellia bush that came with the house when we bought it 16 years ago. It is growing in a very unlikely location – I often wonder how it survives year after year, though to my delight, it does. This is the latest it has ever bloomed – must have something to do with our unusually cold and prolonged winter.
