I love tulips and wanted to put my own interpretation on creating a field of flowers. I used a palette knife to add contrast behind the flowers, and to create the sky, clouds, and grass.<\/p>\n
For me, the sky is what makes this such a cheerful painting. I often find myself in a better mood on days when the sun is shining and the sky is a brilliant blue. The blue lines in the grass remind me of dew and it makes me think of walking barefoot through a meadow in the morning.<\/p>\n
Scents can be tied to vivid memories and sometimes you can smell things just by looking at a piece of artwork. I love the smell of freshly cut grass in the spring and summer. This painting brings me into that frame of mind no matter what time of year it is.<\/p>\n
