It's so interesting painting these under a light. They begin to open and move almost immediately. It's almost like painting outside and having the sun move across the sky, changing the shadows and highlights in its path.

There's a whole new series of Tulips coming on. It was generated by a snaffu on my part. It has actually turned out to be a good thing. That and New York won the Super Bowl!
