I like how this piece ended up: the red edges on the petals, the purple with the yellow, and the sunny feeling. This piece is a nice addition to the other tulip paintings I've been doing. The series needed some purple.
Happy Cinco de Mayo. The title for this painting is Spanish for "fresh." I was listening to Spanish guitar music while doing this painting, and the colors in the painting remind me of berries, limes, and the freshness of summer drinks.

I called this piece "Home" because painting it was like coming home after a long trip. I've been experimenting with different processes of painting and taking a lot of time out of the studio to photograph tulips blossoming in the area. Today it was marvelous to return to what I know, and paint just to paint.
