Parrot tulips

Comments

Beautiful work, Carole. I do love the way you leave your flowers without a background as I think this serves to emphasis the wonderful shades of colour you get into each petal. Nothing like white to make colours look fresh and vibrant! Superb work.

Knew this was one of yours Carole! gorgeous shape and colour to the tulips, you can almost feel the weight of those drooping heads!

Thanks Thea and debs for your encouraging words. Thea I drew the tulips in a vase originally, but couldn't decide on a colour for the vase or the background so chickened out and left it all white!

Lovely composition and so unusual. They are such beautiful flowers they cry out to be painted. You have really 'done them proud'.

Tiny cup and saucer in the painting I found at a car boot, it must be early 20's or earlier. So pretty.
