310. Mixed Tulips

As an artist, it is always good to step out of my comfort zone and learn something new.  I am enjoying this creative learning process, the unpredictability of the medium, and how to "tame" it just a bit.  Alcohol inks give a vibrancy I can't achieve with acrylics and I love it. 

Regarding the giant banner for Art in Bloom, I have had many disappointments and little success in figuring out how to use the alcohol inks on a very large canvas.  Some things just aren't meant to be.  So I am painting the banner with acrylics and trying to mimic the likeness of the Garden 4 painting.  It is a giant effort and I will hope I can pull it off.
