What’s On My Easel

Posted in Art Work, and Peeking Behind the Easel

This lovely small painting of a pink tulip is my newest finished painting. It is a beautiful pink tulip surrounded by gentle curving tulip leaves. The painting is a 5 x 6 inches wrapped canvas. The painting wraps around the sides of the canvas.

I took the reference photo on a trip to Longwood Gardens. They have the most beautiful flowers in the world. Well worth a trip if you are headed for southeastern Pennsylvania.

This beautiful pink tulip stood out in a giant sea of light and dark pink tulips. It was an easy decision to decide what to paint after my trip and a phone full of flower photos. Look for this painting to be posted on my art shop in the next few days.

Yellow Tulip Painting

Posted in Art Work, and Peeking Behind the Easel

What a cold and snowy winter this has been…! Yesterday brought another inch or so and more predicted later on this week. So what to do? Paint spring flowers is what I am doing!

This week I finished a 6 x 6 inch painting of yellow tulips. I use photos of tulips I’ve taken over the years as my references. I chose warm yellows for the flowers because I like yellow tulips and for the warmth of the color.  The leaves are painted with blue greens and touches of purple. The background is a purple – azure blue blend to help pop the yellow tulips.

I like the 6 by 6 inches canvases – not too small and not too big. The gallery wrap canvas means no framing needed. You can frame it if you like, but the sides are painted so the painting looks great hanging frameless.
