Imagined Tulips, Reimagined Nature Series, December 2024,Acrylic on deep edge canvas,25x25cm.
Stretched canvas on quality wood frame, wired and ready to hang, signed on reverse.
This bold, expressive painting features a group of imagined tulip-like blooms in deep red, their forms built up with thick, textured brushstrokes. The petals are rich and glossy, glowing against the vivid backdrop.
The background is a swirling, impasto mix of vibrant blue, pink, white, and hints of purple, suggestive of a dreamlike sky at dusk or dawn. The layering and movement of the paint evoke a sense of energy and emotion, making the flowers feel as though they’re blooming in an otherworldly, enchanted space.
In the depths of winter, I struggle with being indoors and lack of connection with nature. This series brings summer to my studio even when it’s cold and dark. I gained so much joy from thinking about spring in this meditative exercise.
