These  tulips are from Vertgen farms who have a stall at our Saturday market.  To say these tulips are spectacular is an understatement. I absolutely loved painting these beauties.

WEDNESDAY AFTERNOON

6 x 6 inch
oil on 1/8th inch premium canvas panel
$60.00

I started with a red under painting which in a way  gives you a head start as it automatically fills in all those spaces that you are just not sure what to do with.  I didn't use as many darks as usual, I like the whimsy of this painting.

SERENITY

6 x 6 inch
oil on 1/8th inch premium canvas panel
$60.00

I have painted these tulips several times,I love how they are spilling over the vase to put on such a show.  I started with Payne grey for the underpainting,  There is such an immediate pow when you start painting on a dark background, the direction you take is completely different.

BLISSFUL BEAUTY

6 x 6 inch
oil on 1/8th inch canvas board
$60.00

The moment I started this painting it just came alive, maybe because tulips are my very favourite flower especially when they start opening.  I have done several paintings now starting with a black gesso canvas, i am starting to get the hang of it...
