Orange Tulip

Tulips are a favorite springtime subject of mine and the following drawing of an orange tulip was completed using color pencils on Canson mi-teintes paper.  I loved the color variation in the flower and had a lot of fun with it.  For an earlier version in graphite, check out my post from 2/9/2012.

Still-life Study - Patterned Object

11" x 14" oil in canvas panel

This study was completed in 3-4 hours last night.  I discovered that painting a patterned object was more fun than I thought it would be and am on the hunt for a patterned subject for a new still-life painting!
