This is mixed media work. I took a photograph of a beautiful tulip in full bloom. The background was already painterly and structured. I used different filters to get this artistic endresult.

The species are perennials from bulbs, the tunicate bulbs often produced on the ends of stolons and covered with hairless to variously hairy papery coverings. The species include short low-growing plants to tall upright plants, growing from 10 to 70 centimeters (4–27 in) tall. They can even grow in the cold and snowy winter. Plants typically have 2 to 6 leaves, with some species having up to 12 leaves. The cauline foliage is strap-shaped, waxy-coated, usually light to medium green and alternately arranged. The blades are somewhat fleshy and linear to oblong in shape. The large flowers are produced on scapes or subscapose stems normally lacking bracts. The stems have no leaves to a few leaves, with large species having some leaves and smaller species have none. Typically species have one flower per stem but a few species have up to four flowers. The colourful and attractive cup shaped flowers typically have three petals and three sepals, which are most often termed tepals because they are nearly identical. The six petaloid tepals are often marked near the bases with darker markings. The flowers have six basifixed, distinct stamens with filaments shorter than the tepals and the stigmas are districtly 3-lobed. The ovaries are superior with three chambers. The 3 angled fruits are leathery textured capsules, ellipsoid to subglobose in shape, containing numerous flat disc-shaped seeds in two rows per locule.

Textures add in PSCS3 / This vase (it also has a twin) belonged to my Aunty Marga. She bought the vases on a trip to Holland. She collects fine china in the blue and white pattern seen here (perhaps someone knows the style and can let me know!).It has a certain oriental look to it in the flower shapes and patterning. She kindly gave them to me the last time I visited her in Germany in 1988. I happened to remark how pretty they were and then the next thing I knew she had wrapped them up for me to take back to Australia. I always think of her when I use them and when I brought the Tulips home from the florist, I knew they just had to go in this vase.
