A Twitter poem from WATERMARK
A daily practice of sketching and painting gives you a chance to exercise the big three P's - practice, practice, practice!
Tulips in a Vase - ink sketch and watercolour in my Daily Journal - Maree©
I have this vintage, white enamel jug, which I love to fill with flowers, even grasses which I gather from the road-side, and recently a friend who owns a flower farm here in Tarlton brought over some Tulips, which they export to Holland. We all equate Tulips with the Dutch, but according to my friend the tulips were brought from Turkey and introduced to the Dutch in 1593, and the Dutch have certainly coined the phrase "Tulips from Amsterdam"!
Tulips are my favorite spring flowers, the bright red ones in particular. What a chearful sketch!
