Ninalee Irani - Visual Artist

When you decide to have a leaded latte at 7:00 pm, it's amazing how quickly you can finish a painting.  I didn't actually paint faster, I was just able to paint for much longer, and might have finished the whole piece if this layer didn't need to dry before the final highlights and lowlights enter the picture with a dry brush.  These tulips are painted alla prima - wet into wet, with linseed oil as my base.
