Pink Tulips| 24"x30" | oil on hardboard
I recently posted a tulip painting and mentioned the local Orange City Tulip Festival. This coming weekend the festival will take place and as of today, the tulips are looking great. Barring a windy day or two, things should look great.
I grew up going to the festival and it is a celebration of Dutch heritage and a place to celebrate community. Seeing old friends, watching parades and eating the great food is all part of the fun.
This is a larger tulip painting that I did a number of years ago. If you happen to attend the festival this weekend, this painting and the earlier blog tulip will both be on display at the Tulip Town Bulb Company. Breng ons een bezoek.
beautiful tulips here! I hope you have a great time at the festival and sell lots. That tulip in the forground is amazing, observed with an eagles eye!
ReplyDeleteNice painting, i like the composition, very well done!
ReplyDeleteAh, I love the lily shaped tulips... nicely done!
ReplyDeleteMe again... might have known you are also a graphic designer (great portfolio!)... me too. Check out Doug Hoover if you haven't already. We've discussed the idea of a 'club' for 'recovering creatives'.
ReplyDeleteJohn, your tulips are just gorgeous! Congratulations on this one being shown. P.S. I am curious---which chapel of love painting did you give them?
ReplyDeleteThanks everyone. Mona, The Chapel of Love client chose the version with more straight edges. The less painterly version that is. From the comments I received it was surprisingly about an even split on which one people preferred.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful.
ReplyDeletevery nice painting. Liked what you did with the bird painting too.
