Description
This is an image of an original watercolor and pastel painting on 300lb Arches paper from my 'Tulipomania' Floral series. I felt that these interesting red and orange tulips with their contrasting green streaks lent themselves to the sculptural and abstract. I therefore painted them 'up close' arranged grouped tightly with some sunlight shining through their petals to make use of these qualities. The diagonals emphasized by the pointed petals with their central green streaks created such a dynamism to the composition that it reminded me of fire ... hence the subtitle 'Ablaze'.

Fiona...IF I were to curate an exhibit of 10 contemporary floral paintings, this elegant painting would be one. You will find it in the Discussions section of the Contemporary Floral contest, titled "In The Pink" A Contemporary Floral Exhibit "
