Citrus Stripes

"Citrus Stripes" 30 x 30" acrylic

I painted these tulips a few years ago from a slightly different arrangement. It was always one of my favourite florals so I decided to revisit the image. I went bigger this time and the painting seems to have more impact on the larger scale.
It seems like the stripes would be hard to paint but really, you just have to go for it. Any irregularities just make it look more believable- at least that's what I tell myself.
