"TULIP FIESTA" 12051, by Carol Nelson Fine Art





Tulip Fiesta






This painting is on hold until mid June when I will find out if it has been juried into the Rocky Mountain National Watermedia Exhibition later this year.  I haven't entered this prestigious show for several years because one of the requirements is that the painting be on paper.

 That means glass, matting and framing too.  Much more of a hassle than painting on canvas.


A painting of a bunch of tulips can be pretty ordinary until you cut it up and place the pieces on a contrasting background.  Now it's exciting! 



If you have a boring painting of flowers (who doesn't), try cutting it up and putting the pieces on a background with dramatic value difference.
