Red Tulips / 4x4 / Oil on cradled panel (sold)
Photo showing painted edges. (Yes, I even painted the bottom!)
Five inches of snow here today, and even though this winter has been relatively mild--so far--I needed a reminder that spring is on the way. I've lived in Colorado for 30+ years and I love having four distinct seasons, but after the first few snowfalls my heart reverts to my early California upbringing and I start a mental countdown to longer days and warmer weather.
I dug through my photo archives and found this tulip photo from last May. Deer Creek Golf Course always plants beautiful fields of tulips, so it's a great place to snap a few photos every year.
I'm really getting hooked on these little panels. To me, one of the most exciting things about painting is being able to create three dimensions on a flat surface, and the opportunity to paint the edges on these cradled panels makes the illusion seem even more real. What fun!
