A tropical jungle could not be farther than the current weather in Montreal. This painting is from the front of a birthday card that I painted for Cilei, on the inside there were a bunch of colourful balloons and a birthday message. We had recently watched a documentary of CBC streaming about a fancy eco-hotel that was built in the jungle of Ecuador. It is called Mashpi Lodge, part fancy hotel, part nature reserve, very expensive! They have a tram line that goes through the jungle, and they discovered a species of frog that is new to science. In the painting I included some of these ideas, and included some orchids growing on the tree trunks. The world inspired series has been going more or less alphabetically, but I decided to include this one in the series. The next on my list is Belarus, which will be back to a winter scene.
