Can you believe it? I actually started this painting. I'm using those Chroma Interactive acrylics--love them--because I can't work in watercolor or fluid acrylics. My art benches are low to the ground and it hurts my knee to sit like that. with an easel I can raise the chair to a comfortable height. It's all good.

Here's my beginning of the small tulips. All I had left to work from was the ceramic jug itself and the original drawing. I wanted to exaggerate the size of the jug and the leaves, making the tulips appear even smaller. I have no logical idea why this appeals to me, but then, I don't need one. You all know how it goes. You see something a certain way and you make it a bit more like the way you see it. Something like that.

Frankie the Airedale tried to add a nose print to the painting. The beauty of the Chroma paints is that you can blend even after a 'skin' has formed. So, sorry Frankie. Your signature won't be on this one.
