Day 27 - Put Your Tu-lips a Little Closer

I was up at 5am this morning to do this one, trying to get the tulips painted before they go over! I have to say it took me ages to wake up!
Usually the huge mug of coffee I take down to the studio with me boosts me into action but I had a terrible night's sleep and really did not want to get out of bed! I have ALL day to paint today but I know I also have a messy house to clean and clear ( I mentioned that yesterday) and it is old Mother Hubbard in the kitchen cupboards (they are bare) so I will have to DRAG myself to the supermarket... I hate food shopping, it is so boring and everything has shot up in price every time I go. I am having a right old moan folks, sorry - I promise to cheer up by tomorrow!

    ha - love the title! This is a beautiful painting and the paint marks you make are so painterly.
    Know what you mean about food shopping - such a waste of precious painting time.But a girls gotta eat!

      Thank you Julie - it turned better than I'd hoped, it was a chore initially as I was so tired!

    Moan if you need to and then go get some groceries - may want to select something interesting to paint for tomorrow and then eat the darn thing later!

    You are so lucky to be where tulips are blooming! This painting does the proper justice for their beauty! I don't like to grocery shop either..or clean - but things are getting down right nasty here. Thanks for stopping by my blog during this challenge, your comments and viewing are always welcome!

      Thank you Pattie, my tulips were bought from the florist I am afraid! They come from Holland!
