Tulip Tapestry

15x22 watercolor over a weekend, a totally imaginary Spring 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.  Support used 140 lb cold press paper.
