Holly Hock Garden

Day 17's effort in the 30 in 30 challenge is riffing on yesterday's theme of flowers, and specifically holly hocks. A lighter, high key interpretation of the subject, using different media. 

Tulips and Memories of Spring

Memories of Spring

12" x 16"  acrylic on canvas

SOLD

Tulips have appeared in the grocery stores. Every year I buy them throughout the winter (even when in Florida) as they remind me of spring. They are such great flowers to draw and paint because they change and evolve each day, starting out as tight buds and then opening up into their more wild and extreme state before finally dropping their petals. So - if you need some spring in your life, buy some tulips, or better yet a tulip painting that will remind you of warm sunshine and digging in the garden.
