The shapes in this Fortuny fabric seemed a perfect compliment to this deep purple tulip.

Day 122 - Tulip in Medicine Bottle

 

Tulip in Antique Medicine Bottle

Oil on Canvas

5 x 7

I discovered this really cool glass bottle with glass stopper in one of our antique

cupboards the other day. If I understand the family history correctly

Don's great grandfather was a country doctor. Winne, Don's mom, talked about

going on the rounds with her grandfather. I'm guessing this might be one of his bottles.

Family heirloom or not it is a pretty cool little bottle and I found it in my own house!

I think I need Don to dig out the other family antiques.

Day 121 - a little late

Lone Tulip

Oil on Gessobord

6 x 6

A bit of a late post today. The internet browser on my computer, where

all the photos of the paintings are stored, would not work no matter

how many times I rebooted it. So I gave up and went to bed.

This morning, while showering, it occured to me we had more than

one internet browser on our computer! The epiphanies that occur

while one is showering.

101 - PAWA Tulips

 

Yellow Tulips

Oil on Gessobord

5 x 7

 

This was painted at the Plein Air Washington Artists (PAWA) Paint-In

on Sunday. I had a great time and thoroughly enjoyed

painting this still life designed by Janice Kirstein. I wonder if I could

get her to come over and set up some more still lifes for me. Or I suppose

 I could drop in one of her classes too. Hmmmmm....

Day 83

 

Detail of Almost Spent

I prefer this crop to the full piece.

 

 

Almost Spent

Oil on Gessobord

Yesterday's tulip past it's prime but still lovely in it's

own way. I was feeling sad about my mom's most

recent trip to the hospital so this seemed like fitting

subject to paint.
