I finished this oil painting last week. I'm enjoying my flower still life paintings and I'm particularly attracted to tulips. We always had a few tulips that would pop up every year in our yard next to the house when I was a kid. I found it fascinating because they just seemed to magically appear. My parent's never had a garden and didn't work on landscaping our yard but we had a rose bush by the porch and a few tulips in the spring.
