Fluffy Parrot Tulip

11x9 alcohol inks on white 3/18" foamcore board done this evening as a quickie since studio time was short today.  Only four colors of ink was used along with canned air to force ink to spread upwards and in streaks.  Background is left white of the board and is not enhanced.  Tulip stem is made with drops of ink on tip of a wooden chopstick to control it; I used two greens, Juniper and Lime.  Flower bottom edges were smoothed using cotton swab tip dipped in 91% alcohol.
