Tulip Tradition

 

Every year, after all the holiday decorations are put away,
I love having just a big bowl of tulips on our harvest table.
Also, this time of year, I am searching for any inspiration
to get me back into the studio.

I love how, after a few days in the warmth,
they get leggy and floppy.
While painting this recently,
I realized that I’d painted the post-holiday tulips
pretty much every year!

These are from the past 5 years.
You can see how I approach the subject differently each time.
That’s what I love about this time of year.
Playtime!
