"Spirited Tulips"

"Spirited Tulips" by J Joy Nocifora
9 x 12" oil on linen canvas panel
$200.00 (unframed)

Tulips seem to have a spirited personality! I enjoy watching them open their tight little faces to expose their dark inner colors and spread the breadth of their petals. Then they bow their heads as if to say, "there now... wasn't that a great show!"

"Trois Tulipes"

Kathy Cousart brought the most beautiful tulips to our workshop and they were my favorite thing to paint! As you can see they don't need a fancy vase. The tulips make the Mason jar look elegant. I hope there will still be tulips around so that I can paint them again, when I return from my two week trip west. My trip includes a five day, plein air workshop with Jennifer McChristian at the Scottsdale Art Academy in Scottsdale, Arizona. My traveling pal, Denise Rose and I are so excited!
