Description

This multicolor tulip seems to be trying to decide if its red or pink while the greens creep in. It was such an unusual flower that I found at the Skagit Valley, WA during its April Tulip Festival, I painted the festival poster in 2016, and while there I got to photograph lots of interesting varieties for eventual painting. This tulip is painted on 140# Arches Cold Press paper. The original painting is part of an April 2023 show I'm having with other festival poster artists at the Scott Milo Gallery in Anacortes, WA. My show is titled "From Darkness Blooms" to show the beauty of flower during dark times. The original is matted in white and framed with a white metal frame. It looks great on my terra cotta painted dining room wall! The image size is 13.75 x 21.25 in a 22.5 x 30" frame. This painting, and all my paintings on Fine Art America are professionally photographed to create perfect reproductions on all the print surfaces and products.

I’ve been using watercolor and ink brush line in my illustration work for nearly 20 years, but in a much more controlled and predictable way. My pictures appear on book jackets, ads, posters, logos and packaging all over the country and Canada.

I was honored to be the gold medal winning poster artist for the Skagit Valley Tulip Festival in 2016 with my watercolor painting of a tulip bouquet.

In 2012 I qualified to be a signature member of the Northwest Watercolor Society (NWWS). This is earned by being juried into a select number of local chapter and international watercolor society shows sponsored by NWWS. The initials now follow my signature on recent watercolor paintings. I've received multiple awards for my watercolor paintings.
