Scarlet in Green

This painting is about celebrating spring.  I wanted to create a painting of reds and greens, so when I saw these lush tulips in our local supermarket, they had to purchased.  Experimenting with fabrics, different positions inside and outside, I settled for a backlit window on a sunny day to give the tulips that extra pop.    I want you to feel as though you could reach into the image and touch the flowers. And, I want you to feel happy every time you look.
