Moving Towards the Light

My sister-in-law had a beautiful pot of tulips moving towards the light at her house last weekend, and I wanted to capture that effect here.  They look like they are dancing don't they?  This piece is done in acrylic on cardstock (8.5"h x 11"w).  Have a great day!

Linking to Sunday Sketches, thanks to Alexandra for hosting!


Here it is framed:

Wonderful little painting of the tulips. I love the background color and the way the tulips appear to be yearning for the sunlight.

they are lovely, I had a painting I did of tulips and I called it the dancing Ladies, I see I'm not the only person who thinks they look like they are dancing,

I just love that bit of yellow streaking in the background, Tulips are wonderful with their colour combinations.
