Tulips don't last as long as the daisy. I got in some sketches before I had to throw this bunch out. I tried to get more of a purple in the tulips on my scanner. The original is a little different in color. When I made this painting the tulips were scattered all over the place. I focused on single blooms as I was working with black 6 by 6 inch Art Tiles.
I love painting the Gerbera daisy. I wish they came in variety packs with regard to color. The last a long time too. The title "Jilted" came to mind because the smaller more decayed flower reminded me of a jilted lover. The surface is an 8 by 8 inch piece of Wallis paper. I started out with a watercolor under painting and used a variety of pastels including Sennelier's iridescent colors. I added some purple highlights to the flowers to give it a bit of a bounce.
