Tulips

[jaguarundi]

Not mad for this painting but I was after energy and colour and it has those - I think. But every time I paint tulips it never comes out quite right.

I don't know - I happen to like it. Love that pinky-lavender.

Beautiful picture, love the colour of my favourite flowers.

Have you been spying on my house as the picture looks exactly like the vase of tulips on my dresser

I love when you buy them and they're all straight and then gradually over time they bend in all different directions

I like it! What kind of style is that out of focus type of painting?

 

[jaguarundi]

Thanks guys!

^ It's basically a bit of a post-impressionistic style. You might find it vaguely reminiscent of a Van Gogh (not that I would compare myself to him!) and those artists painting along those lines. It still holds a relationship to the real form, but less dissolved and 'floaty' than the impressionists. Sort of. A bit, anyway. Sorry if that's TMI.

Knowing a bit about art and being able to paint are unfortunately two very different things. Mind you, it's the doing of it I love.

Beautiful! I wish I had some artistic bone in me like you.

Anyway, I actually thought of Tulip23 when I saw the title of this thread and actually thought it was about Tulip23.

That's very good If I painted it I would be so proud of myself.

It is a beautiful painting, so lovely.

^ Thanks you guys! I know Tulip23 loves tulips, in a way she inspired it, sometimes there are so many things to pick from, one kind of needs something to help narrow the field. I have started a painting based on the 3rd photo I took from the Walk with my Dog thread and it might turn out to be a good one! I'll post it anyway but it will be - Minus the martian water-tower lol!
