    12×9 watercolor on Canson 140 lb cold press paper done yesterday in 1.5 hours, leaving out palette outlines and making the oil paint blobs the background. It’s the second time to paint from this photo and if I can find the other will post for comparison. Yellow was used throughout.

        Very Colorful

        I looked at the picture for quite awhile and decided I could not see a way to make it work, but you did a great job of producing the background in a way where the tulips still stand out.

                I couldn’t see how this would work either, you make it seem so easy Kay, lovely colours.

                    I also like how you have the tulips stand out even though there are hints of lots going on in the background. Very nice.

                            Captures not only the colours but also the textures of the tulip flowers and leaves . A fine decorative piece.

                                        I just love what you’ve done with this reference, so much colour! I love the background and those vivid pink tulips. :)

                                                It’s lovely and so “Spring”! I’m pretty impressed that you were able to make the tulips stand out against such a busy background!
