"Alice's Tulips" - 6" x 8" - Oil on Canvas
$110 - Framed

I will preface this by saying that I am not in the habit of painting from other people's photographs.  Some time ago, my good friend Alice, sent me some images of a still life with tulips that she had set up.  She invited me to paint them if I wished.  I have always loved the arrangement and had thought that I would indeed paint it at some point.  Well, today was the day!  After struggling with the Harbour Four painting earlier in the day I was looking forward to painting all of the luscious folds in this fabric.

    1. Thank you dear friend. It's not as lovely as yours, but maybe I'll get there one day! :)

    2. Don't be so hard on yourself ... it's darn close ... and remember how much older I am and how many more hours I've got in!
