Tulips and Daffodils, 2012, 16" x 20", oil on canvas.
Yesterday I was given fresh flowers, and so I dashed over to the art store and bought a canvas and came home, set up my dining room table, and painted them.
My son really likes these flowers as they are, and so, despite the leaves losing that white scraped line from a distance, I am considering it finished. It is a painting for a small space, a kitchen or hall, meant to be looked at up close.
For me, the painting is about the two extravant, opulent tulips, each offering to bloom outside the canvas.
When I finish my current Moleskine Sketchbook, my intention is to purchase (somehow) 30 canvases and proceed to paint them.
Other than my self-portrait, these two aims (the Mole and the canvases) are my art projects for the year.
