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.
