Beautiful Springtime flowers, Tulips had to be painted for “T”. Like roses, the different colours of tulips mean something different for each flower, but I finally decided on red tulips for this letter which mean “Undying Love” and added a Tiger Pierid Butterfly.
THANK YOU SO MUCH JUDY (JJsEscape) FOR BUYING A CARD, I REALLY APPRECIATE IT :-)
have used Black Ink and Derwent and Faber Castell Watercolour pencils on 8” x 10”, 125 lbs Hahnemuhle Bamboo mixed media, acid-free paper.
I paint because I cannot do otherwise. I paint because if I don’t I become unhappy and sad. Most of all, I paint best the things that filled and fill me with joy and excitement, like the ocean and waves which I no longer can see nor hear now. During the long winter months I paint butterflies, they are symbols of what it felt like to fly away to freedom. And all the while, I continue trying to achieve what Matisse wrote, “I continue painting until the hand sings” .
