redwings in tulips
22" x 26" oil on wood
Our tulips were so beautiful this year, and always so welcome after our dreary wet winters. I painted these tulips out in my garden, then brought the painting into the studio to paint the redwing blackbirds. I sent this painting with Merrie French today for Valley Arts bird show. I made a nice frame for it out of 2" radiata pine. I oiled the pine and it came up a nice deep yellow that echoes the tulips.
I kind of wasn't ready to let it go. I guess I never am.

Like the bird among the tulips. Both must be long gone by now!
