Susan, this painting is soft yet solid. The lush density of greenish hues ranging from nearly yellow through blue to nearly black yields great texture and depth. These tender blooms erupt from just below the horizon to soar like renewed and resurrecting souls into the tranquil blues and soft whites of sky and sunlit cloud. There is no doubt that these are tulips but not as recorded by some scarcely interested illustrator but by one who delights in and is transformed by an encounter with such sweet and delicate flowers.
