Orange Tulips in a Silver Teapot

9" x 12" oil on wood panel
I did this one back in April. Tulips are so tricky to paint because they keep growing, even after they are cut, and they bend unpredictably. This all happens within a couple of hours of the initial set up, so speed is your friend. Still, I love to paint them because of their vivid colors and elegantly simple shapes. It's a shame their season is so short.
