                 The poinciana flowers were first painted wet in wet with translucent orange/deep red in the highlight areas and translucent orange+deep red+a little pthalo blue in the shadow areas. Details were added with the same colors while it was still moist and also after it had dried. The leaves are aureolin yellow, pthalo blue, a little orange or red. The back ground colors are the same. Also added hookers green for some variety in the trees.
