Tulips are one of my favorite flowers. This original acrylic painting was commissioned by my friend, Bridget, so I named it for her.
Life is a blank canvas. Tonight… this is how I colour mine. Tulips on Table Cape
This tulip field watercolour, along with my charcoal drawing of an eagle, won Wyndham City Council’s, Cultural Encouragment Award 2008. It’s painted on A3 watercolour paper that’s over 185gsm. We were told in my year 11 art class to have a quick experiment with a medium that we haven’t really used before, so I decided to try watercolour. I started with the tulip just to the left of the center and couldn’t really stop! I used the dry watercolours that you then wet, – of artist quality. What I really like about watercolour is the way that you can so easily create different tones in your colours just by adding more water, that and the fact that you can wet again and remove if you’re not happy with it. I actually became quite attached to the single paint brush I used for this painting, so much so that when I snapped it half way through, I got some strong tape, stuck it back together and finished the painting with the same brush!!!!
Two actual digital photographs. One of a clump of trees on a dreary day and another of the lovely tulips. I thought it showed that even when things seem dull and hopeless, there is always something to hold on to
tempera and pastel on mdf / cm 53×120 I really think that this is my masterpiece. After 30 years of painting, this picture is a gift I made to myself.
2008 Copyright. All Rights Reserved to Mariam Muradian. This Outdoor Series was created during the time that my Feral Child and Feral Woman were emerging. I had a claustrophobic time being inside anywhere…even my own house. I could only BREATHE outside. So I spent many days and nights outside. I moved my studio outside. I painted outside only. This series of paintings, I am convinced, cannot live indoors because it will choke the life out of them and they will die; so this series is prepared with heavy heavy sealants to live outdoors forever. I place each one very carefully in their “chosen” place. Each must be a compliment in the truest sense of the word to nature. You can never out-create nature. The series can be vibrant and subdued at the same time, depending on its environment. So once each has found their interconnected, noncompetitive place in the landscape, I watch. I enjoy watching these outdoor paintings live their life! How they communicate and play and change with the light, the blooms, the seasons! It is wondrous to witness! Their subtle variations and transformations are always perfectly, proportionately in sync with nature’s doings. Truly awesome! My ART has reached a Nirvana of sort in this context. It feels so right in my soul. Now you know why I must LIVE outdoors and garden and paint! I have never before felt such passion, such joy, and such inspiration! I continue to paint for this series. I will continue to take photographs of these art pieces as they change, as different colored blooms come to surround them. You must see! Thank you for looking and reading about this ongoing process of healing in my life. Please do comment, as I would love to hear how this effects the Beholder. Thank you. Outdoor Art Series 1L Gate (description for context): to the immediate right of this piece is the trellis gate leading to the backyard gardens. And immediately right of that is the companion gate art piece flanking the other side. Growing and climbing up this art piece is ivy and a wisteria with silvery white/lavender flowers. To the left of the piece is a huge true red rhododendron bush/tree. And to the left of that, a twin royal purple rhododendron bush/tree. More toward the ground in this same area is green grass with assorted colorful wildflowers, and running perpendicular to the fence is a bed of large white daisies/yellow centers and yellow tulips. I am just so grateful that I can SEE! That my vision returned from blindness, along with my color vision. That I am alive at all! A miracle and a blessing! See the others in the series /
Pink tulips bathed in sunlight. Watercolour by Ruth S Harris
I loved the image, but had to get rid of the noisy background. They stand better alone.

The May sun, whom / all things imitate, / that glues small leaves to / the wooden trees, / shone from the sky / through bluegauze clouds / upon the ground. / Under the leafy trees / where the suburban streets / lay crossed, / with houses on each corner, / tangled shadows had begun / to join the roadway and the lawns. / With excellent precision / the tulip bed / inside the iron fence / upreared its gaudy / yellow, white and red, / rimmed round with grass, / reposedly. ....William Carlos Willi /

Acrylic On Canvas (commissioned) Ophelia having a wonderful day-out with her tulip friends. “Oh my! There are so many of them here, will I be able to remember all their names??” Ophelia hooted! :D / / You can view or buy my other “Tulip Love Affair” creations at my Zazzle Gallery:
I have always wanted to have a go at ‘painting with light’. So blacked out the spare room and bought a bunch of tulips. The flowers are lit with a small torch waved over them for 81 seconds and the shutter set to ‘bulb’. Except for the 50% texture overlay (I thought the wardrobe doors were a bit boring) it is exactly as shot. /
Virtues: Compassion is understanding and caring when someone is hurt or troubled, even if you don’t know them. It is wanting to help, even if all you can do is listen and say kind words. You forgive mistakes. You are a friend when someone needs a friend. There well be a time when he will need your love, / understanding and most of all your compassion. / Give these freely and be the friend that someone needs. / For in giving and forgiving we are blessed.
