The end of Spring last year I visited the most beautiful garden along the shore of Lake Superior. It is created and tended by three local ladies. Every year they graciously allow artists to visit and paint.

This is an image I created there. All the tulips were at the end of their blooming season. When they're in full bloom it is specacular. But when they're waning it is SO interesting. A plethora of different shapes, lines and colors. Each blossom expressing it's own farewell story.

This painting is currently available. It is a mixed media piece on stretched canvas, 12x12 inches.
