Tulip II

February 4, 2010 - 8" x 24", acrylic on stretched canvas

Okay, I admit it. I love flowers, plants, gardens, etc. I also love bold color; and few subjects provide the kind of opportunity to explore that like flowers.

The background here is anthraquinone blue with a touch of napthol red. The Leaves are pthalo blue, cadmium yellow and titanium white. The flower petals are Napthol red, titanium white and a touch of anthraquinone blue for shading.

Well this is now gone as I was asked to donate a paiting for a charity auction for my daughters ballet school, The Deane Dance Center and Crockett-Deane Ballet.
