Buffalo Gap Tulip demo ~ day 14 of 30 paintings in 30 days challenge

5x7 alcohol inks on Yupo synthetic paper, today's first demo of three, for Abilene's Cultural Arts Center. The art organization meets in the old historic Buffalo Gap, Texas village.  This one is also day 14 of Leslie Saeta's 30 day challenge she hosts each January and September internationally.  With this abstract tulip I left the background the white of the paper.  A limited palette was used:  Watermelon, Sunbright Yellow, and Stream.  Stay tuned next couple of days for the other demo pieces and an upcoming all day class on alcohol inks is TBA in Ballinger, TX, hosted by Mid-West Texas Artists Guild.
