Romantic Botanicals #5

Yellow Cups

Today I slotted in painting between going to the printers and driving a choir group across town. If I was not doing one-a-days no art would have left my body today.

I love the fullness of the cup shape of the tulips. They had just opened for the first time this morning so there is a fresh look to the petals. I accentuated the fresh look by doing single stroke panting with no over painting on the tulips. I like the intensity of the colour in this flower. It is a super saturated yellow.
