There was a garden themed gallery show coming up. I wondered how could I submit something to this show when I don’t do representational work? Giving it some thought, I remembered how inspired I get from the petals of fresh tulips in the spring. Their colors are so rich and welcoming. I decided I could represent that feeling of awe for their color. Can you see how this is three tulips, sharing a vase, and I am not paying attention to the stems, vase or surroundings?
