Day 25 - Pink, I think!

I love tulips, my second favourite flower! These pink lovelies called to me - "paint me" and I used the opportunity to include a shade of turquoise too!
Tulip leaves are a very unusual shade of green as well as being matt (not shiny) so my green mixing was tested to the limit. I like the soft pastel shades of this little painting mainly as it is a complete change from the last two paintings I have completed in my 30 paintings in 30 days challenge.

    Tulips are lovely and I agree their leaves are a lovely matt, grayed out green. You did a great job with this painting. Love your placement of the flowers.

    I love the totally natural way the tulips are resting on the table. Beautiful!
