Painting Tulips in Acrylics

 The tulips came and went so fast that I'm having to rely on photos as I attempt to finish that last painting.

 These are such a bright and unusual red-orange that it's hard to capture in paint.

 Once I establish the basic shapes the problem is all about shading and dimension. There's a lot of work ahead but I think it's off to a promising start, don't you?
