This painting is of the amazing parrot tulips that I purchased at our Saturday market, loose and lively is the direction I went, large brushes and I even introduced the palette knife which gives some amazing definition to the leaves and petals.

This painting is a mix of abstract and impressionist...I can't decide. I chose very warm colours, I just wanted to keep the painting soft and easy on the eye.

I so enjoyed painting these tulips, it started out to be a very grey day here and the more I painted them the more the weather cleared.  I used a small palette knife for parts of the painting...very freeing.

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.

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...

Last night I was already looking forward to painting my turquoise vase again today, I cut the tulips down so they were more compact.  I played around with the background and like the outcome.

Finally the tulips have started arriving in the stores, they are everywhere. I pulled out my go to turquoise vase and filled it with my favourite flowers, beautiful pinks...just so pretty. I used more paint than usual, and used a palette knife along with my brush.

It was so exciting to paint on a large canvas, yes after painting mostly on 6 x 6 inch a 12 x 12 inch seems huge. This painting is kind of abstract impressionist with lots of colour...really fun.
