Painting #18 Lonely Tulip
A simple object was chosen today after the time-consuming cat for yesterday. Whew! That one wore me out! The tulip in the darling, little round vase was my choice. I took artistic license with the colors, making the background red violet with the warm pink tulip in the foreground.
Funny how a simple color combination can evoke a memory..........this one does for me. As a young teen, I was getting interested in fashion. Being the youngest with three older sisters, new clothes were a rarity for me, as hand-me-downs were plentiful. My mother was a seamstress at a local shop named, De-Cindi Fashions. They made clothing for Bobbie Brooks. Their rejects were made available to employees and I got a pink/burgundy plaid skirt with a pink top to match! To this day , when I see those color combinations, it cheers me up and makes me smile. Ahhhh,,,,,,, the simple pleasures of life!

I just noticed an interesting fact about your blog, you have posted more times in January than in the last 4 years! Way to go!!! I love how you take artistic liscence with color and mood. I need to stop trying to get everything just right and relax a little, maybe tomorrow!
Please tell me the cat took longer than one day with all that beautiful detail!!!! The flower and glass today are wonderful!
I did it all in one day but ALL day! I took the photo a couple of years ago and had planned to do it but just hadn't gotten around to it. I worked almost non-stop to get it done. Glad you like it!
