Parrot Blend tulips

30x22 watercolor on Lanaquarelle 140 lb hot press paper done this afternoon.  After painting so many pet portraits lately I thought it was time for a spring floral!  My ref photo was taken in the Netherlands by my friend Barbara and I used only the large parrot tulip upper right.  The others are all imaginary as to colors and shapes.
