Tulip Trio - anticipating Spring!

15x22 watercolor of imaginary parrot tulips blooming in the soft spring sunshine.  For this one, I splashed and poured paint in a random array of warm colors:  Permanent rose, gamboge, aureolin, transparent pyrrol orange, quinacridone coral, alizarin crimson, then added cools of manganese blue, Prussian and ultramarine, plus mixed greens.  No tube greens for me!

Ein sehr schönes Aquarell und das Motiv finde ich sehr gut.
