Pink Apricot Watercolor Expressionist Tulips – 8 x 10 Fabriano 140 lb Cold Press
Pink Apricot Watercolor Tulips.
I found a few extra moments to steal away to my art studio this past weekend.
I felt like painting some tulips – inspired by our recent trip to Phipps Conservatory‘s Spring Flower Show.
I gave this one a couple tries before I finally decided I liked this version. I started too tight and too “literal.” I so admire folks who paint things that look exactly like real life, but it is not my passion. In my first go, I tried much to hard to replicate the photo. I then loosened up a bit and created this version that more represents the beauty I felt looking at the tulips.
To me, this painting speaks Joy and Happiness and Life.
And that is what I am feeling this week as we count down the days in wedding week!
Cheers & Hugs,
Jodi
