Just Home from the Market, 14 x 18
sold
I painted this one in class this morning. I actually steered immediately away from the tulips as I walked in; on Tuesday I'd painted a small group of tulips at home and wiped it off just as I finished--it wasn't clicking. Those who paint with me know I am terribly fearful of painting flowers--so no surprise to me that I nearly ran from them in class. Because Laurel challenged us to do something "unexpected" with the composition, I chose to confront that fear, and was rewarded with a result I'm really happy with. It may be the one I donate to the Ladybird Johnson Wildflower Center Art Auction. I can't think of a name for the life of me, so it remains--untitled.
One and Only, 6 x 6
I took a souvenir home from class and painted it this afternoon....

Congratulations on facing your fear. They are both great. I love the simplicity of the single tulip, and the composition of the group is dynamic. How about "Tulip Troupe" or "The Crush" or maybe "Uncommon Rabble" for a title.
Magnificent!

Thanks, all! Carolyn, I appreciate the title suggestions--this one was hard for me--though I love "The Crush!"
This turned out absolutely beautiful!! Great idea for the auction as well! They will be so lucky to get it!!!!
