Pink Tulips in a Garden

"Pink Tulips in a Garden"

3 1/2" x 10"

pastel on Wallis sandpaper

I love painting these long thin pieces.  In the past, they were my favorite.  At one time, I think I did a whole show with just about all art in this format.  It isn't surprising I find my comfort zone here.  Funny, how one relies on those old ideas to get revved up again.   It's kind of like most things...like playing piano or guitar or the proverbial "riding a bike"...gotta start somewhere.  However, each time I stay away from the easel for awhile,

I feel I lose something. 

I think maybe just the lack of forward movement creates this odd feeling. 

And therefore - everything I do that is involving my art feels this way,

looks this way and IS this way. 

Can't explain it, but I know I am going to go find it again!  

For sale in my Etsy shop.

My daughter is a floral designer at a fashionable florist in the Seaport area of Brooklyn.

Bill is the owner of Holland Acres a tulip farm in New Jersey. He cuts tulips fresh every morning and wraps them in plain white paper, then delivers them to florists in the NY/NJ area. He has the most amazing colors and variety.

She took this photo.
