Half Past

After tedious work on portraits, I often revert to a fun floral. This was painted from a free photo on Pixabay with the identification of Katzenfee50.jpg. I try to avoid cliche in my work, and these tired tulips lit from above called my name. The photographer no doubt felt the same.

Yellow Tulips in Blue Vase

The background and vase were successful; the tulips not so much. I just could not land the yellow I wanted, so this may be painted over (again).
