Tulips for a Rainy Day - sold
12"x9" oil on gessoed masonite artboard
“The business of a poet, said Imlac, is to examine, not the individual but the species; to remark general properties and large appearances. He does not number the streaks of the tulip.”
- Samuel Johnson
Oh, I do like this quote...as I like to think I paint 'poetically' rather than botanically- more of what you feel when you think of .....remember THAT particular bouquet of tulips.....

I think it's a terrific painting Roxanne with your trade mark impasto still conveying the fragility of those tulips somehow.
Thanks Sheila! It was indeed a fun one to paint!
It is so much prettier up close. Wow!
