Two Scarlet Tulips


This is a portion of a larger painting of three tulips that is too large to scan. The tulips are based on my Cleveland Passover photograph which was the first art posting to this blog...scroll down to see it. Originally it had a grey background, I added the blue later which the homested critics think helps it a bit. I'm not super impressed by this painting myself. I was a bit torn about posting it. The tulips are a combination of cheapie Lowe Cornell Scarlet Paint and very nice quality Scarlet Lake paint by Windsor Newton. The paints are slightly different shades of Scarlet.
