Parrot Tulips       16 x 16"   Oil on Cradled Board

I've painted many tulips before, but these Parrot tulips were much more challenging with all of their folds and ruffles than the standard variety.  It was also refreshing to paint a dark background, since I usually lean on the lighter colors.    And since the stores are already displaying Christmas trees and sparkly ornaments, I feel like it's okay for me to share my New Year's resolution with you here:  frequent blog posts.  Not every three weeks frequent, but more like twice a week frequent, since blogging is one of the best ways to stay on top of painting.  It should be the other way around, but oh well - I seem to do quite a few things backwards.
