Title: Three Yellow Tulips in Three Yellow Pots
Three Yellow Tulips in Three Yellow Pots is a lively decorative painting in acrylic inks from my Fantastic Flowers series. This large painting (80x80x2cm) makes a very attractive statement piece, a talking point in any room. Framing options available following purchase. Also available as a print and card.
About this painting: Every artwork I create comes from a happy place inside me, and Three Yellow Tulips in Three Yellow Pots is no exception. This is one of the earlier paintings in the Fantastic Flowers series when I was excitedly discovering what my new acrylic inks could do – and what I could do with them (see below). I hope you get a sense of the exhuberance I felt at the time!
About the Fantastic Flowers series: I make my Fantastic Flowers paintings by drawing freehand with a dropper full of black ink and then spraying with water before the ink dries. I like to work fast in this way as it sets a very expressive foundation for the painting. Then I loosely add my favourite colours to complete the picture, letting them flow freely, outside the lines if they like, to enhance the dynamism of the original drawing, while purposely leaving the accidental inky splashes to bring life to the unpainted white canvas background. The original aim of the Fantastic Flowers series was to allow me to paint big with wide sweeps of my arms to make beautiful free-flowing floral paintings exuding life, movement, and joy.
