red parrot tulips finished


sold
all done & in the shop!

These tulips were a joy to paint!  I usually follow my reference  photos
pretty closely, but not this time.  I just had fun painting frilly petals.

I listen to audiobooks while I paint.  This time it was Maeve Binchy's A Week in Winter.
Very enjoyable!

  3. The tulips are gorgeous. I've never listened to a book - I'd be afraid it would put me to sleep, but perhaps if I painted or stitched it might work. What else are you reading? I haven't seen a book post from you for a long time. I have just picked up Jane Gardam's Last Friends - I love her writing!
