I’ve been watching this tulip grow and develop for the past week or so and am always impressed by how strong the blooms are. They last through all kinds of weather becoming fuller and more colorful.
Painting anything white is always a challenge and the more you look the more subtle colors you see. In this piece I used a strong dark background to emphasize the pleasant tones in the white petals and the reddish-pink ruffled edges. At only 2” tall I still found it to be a fascinating subject to paint.
