Petal Pushers

15x22 watercolor of still life tulips set up in my dining room by an old oil painting. The light from the window behind illuminated the spring blooms perfectly. My hunter green wall adds a complementary punch to the vivid orange. This is painted on Saunders 140 lb cold press paper. Steps in creating this painting can be seen on this blog in February 2011.

Orange Tulip Row

6x9 alcohol inks on paper card just done, a rather abstract floral of orange blooms complemented by their green foliage.  Seeing these imaginary tulips help put us all in a Spring frame of mind.

February Tulips

15x11 watercolor on 140 lb cold press Bienfang paper drawn and painted from life today.  My tulips are pink though so had to improvise and add other hues such as orange, yellow, and red.

Tulip Talk

11x15 watercolor of orange yellow tulips growing by side of a house.  I know these are fall colors on spring flowers but wanted to paint them really bad! Ref courtesy of Jean on WetCanvas for last weekend's drawing event.
