Day 22 and counting!

Tulip Study

a little study for 30 paintings in 30 days

SPRING?

Tulip

Apparently, I have voles.

I found these little holes in the ground 

and wondered what they were.

I noticed there were no greens 

where my tulip bulbs were planted.

The only bulbs that have survived

are in an elevated bed 

surrounded by brick.

Day 21 - Canvas Play

5x5 gallery canvas

primed with Daniel Smith Watercolor Ground
and painted with watercolors

I confess it's great fun!

Strong paint is best 

lots of pigment and a little water.

Spring, Ready or Not

Dutch Tulips 1
A tulip with petals like lilies, in vibrant colors. I can't wait. The tulips aren't blooming at my home, yet.
This little painting is a tribute to an artist/photographer from wet canvas. Olga traveled in Europe and shared many photos with the wet canvas membership. I've enjoyed her canal shots in Venice and so many wonderful windows from everywhere.
I found a few Dutch Tulip shots and will attempt to paint them in her honor.

Warm thoughts.
In a month or less, the crocus should be up. Not long after that, narcissus and daffodils followed closely by these wonderful lily tulips. They even last a long time when cut and placed in a vase.
This watercolor painting is 7 x 10 and would be lovely matted and framed to 11 x 14 or even larger.
