The Story Behind the Art
I love Tulips! Especially pink ones. I have always liked “chunky” paint on paintings so I decided to tackle working with the palette knife. This painting is acrylic on canvas with the palette knife and lots of paint and is a cluster of pink parrot tulips that I had in my back garden.
I say “had” because first the deer ate the blooms then the skunks got the bulbs! I did the painting from a photo. It was painted with a brush and a palette knife. Working with a palette knife in oil is fun so I decided to try it with acrylic. I really like the way it turned out. I had to get a really heavy bodied acrylic paint for it to get the same effect but the drying time was definitely a lot better. The color blending was a bit harder . Oil has a better range and depth of color but the acrylic was worth working with.
Now, if I could just plant this outside in my garden I’d have the “illusion” I had my tulips back and the critters wouldn’t bother them! And yes, I’ve tried all the commercial ways of keeping the animals away AND the home remedies. If anyone has a better suggestion other than move into a condo in town, please advise!
