Broken Tulips
Oil on Stretched Canvas, 10" x 10"
SOLD at $65.00 plus shipping.
Out of three bunches of tulips, these three were broken off at the stems, so I put them in a glass and took them down to the studio. For whatever reason, flowers that are easy to do in watercolor give me a hard time in oils. Maybe because oils feel more solid, although it's just paint. One of these days I'll figure out how to make a delicate set of petals in oil. Meanwhile, you get to see my practice (aren't you lucky?) Just kidding, and thanks for looking.

Oh I love this one, the background colour choice is perfect.
