Spring Tulips

Spring Tulips - 24x26"

As you may remember, I've been posting a new series "Spring - 2011".

This diptych was painted in the same vein as the first few in the series (show in older blogs) but, rather than coming from my head, I drew inspiration from an old photo of tulips I love. In the photo about 1/3 of the white wall was in bright sunlight; the rest was darkened by shadow. I used that as a spring board in creating the composition.

My goal is to create a body of about 10-12 paintings. I better get going or it'll have to be a 2012 series!

This evening, I'll post twice - using a detail from this piece, to demonstrate dry-brush technique.

Hope you are having a wonderful summer.
