Blue Vase

"Blue Vase" 22" x 15"

An abundance of flowers, flowing forth from a

footed floral vessel. Say that three times fast!

I've been noticing tulips at various flower shops..

Is this unusually early or are we jumping the seasons

as a result of greenhouses or better, faster transportation,

so we can get things from across the globe in a matter of hours?

We used to have to wait until at least February or March

to see those first tender spring bouquets. But I guess it's

a good thing for a floral painter like myself. I do try to

stay a little seasonal, like now the amaryllis are blooming

as are the paperwhites...
