Red Tulips

I finished the tulip painting and it's a little tighter than I had set out to paint it. 

I'll play with it over time but am taking it to Milward Farrell early next week

where it will be part of the MMOCA Gallery Walk show on May 4th.

Today I start a new one. A little looser this time. Maybe tulips again. Maybe the same size. 

A litter mate. A friend suggested I walk the neighborhood and photograph tulips from my neighbors' yards. That is on my list, too. I haven't painted from a photo in long time. Eliminates chasing the light around the room. Painting is hard enough! How I respect my plein air painter friends.
