It's so beautiful that we can't stop painting it!
We found that Poinsettia has many names, vary in different regions and begins it's history as Christmas symbol from 16th cent Mexico. "Noche Buena" (Spanish) is one of the names. And, by the way, it's mexican beer too! "The only Christmas beer in Mexico, Noche Buena is a dark, full-bodied premium brew with a strong, distinctive flavor."

I think that "Noche Buena" is the best of my poinsettia seria, even the last (#4) is very good too.

  1. I like this one. It creates immediate emotional response. There is something troubling in this trembling rose-red colors and shadows.
