Every year in February I love to buy these special tulips bouquets. All buds are closed and 
you don't know which colors will be appearing, so it is every time a wonderful surprise.

I've not really time to paint during the last weeks, but today I decided to make some calming down washes with the new DANIEL SMITH color from the dot card and I love the AUSSIE RED and of course the WISTERIA in interaction with the QUINACRIDONE LILAC. I know I've missed IN March the COLORS OF THE MONTH, so these dot card will be my 

APRIL - COLORS OF THE MONTH 


And now I'm in the mood for more .. my sea turtle needs a little bit darker shapes and contrasts for finishing and I had a lot of new ideas for more paintings.

It's a new fresh year, so it's time for new experiences and discoveries.  It's really very cold outside, so it's no wonder, that a little bit of these coldness is going into my January Still Life. But behind the low temperatures is the Spring coming - only the question is when ...
