Tulip Tapestry

15x22 watercolor drawn Sunday and finished today, a totally imaginary scene.  I had a new nursery garden catalog which had a tulip with these dark blue/purple centers inside green topped with brilliant reds, called 'poppy tulips'.  Butterflies or moths circle gently over the tulip garden against the stark white background.  It is time for Spring!

I do love this painting! It really cheered me up on a morning when rain is forecast.
