Before the Spring

"Before the Spring"

18"x18"

Oil on Canvas

Between Valentines Day and spring on the horizon I have been provided lots of beautiful flowers to paint. Whenever I have fresh flowers on hand, I like to paint them and paint them until they are just falling apart, so lately it's been white roses and coral tulips over and over!  Tulips, as you know, have this neat little thing they do....they move all day long.  They open and close and they droop down and perk back up and keep the painter guessing what they'll do next.  I tolerated their bad behavior, though, because they're just so pretty and cheerful and make me think spring is closer than it probably is.  I love them for that.

Thank you, as always, for looking!

Day 20/30: "Tulip Toss"

"Tulip Toss"

14" x 11"

Oil on Canvas

It feels like early spring here today and it was a joyful thing to paint a bunch of beautiful tulips!  These are the tulips I mentioned in my last post - the ones that were on the chopping block at the grocery store.  About to be thrown out because they were too old.  Here's to aging gracefully!!  :)

Thanks for looking!
