Hi Everyone, Hope you all had a nice weekend. Ours was quite nice but of course the weather was lousy. The last time we had something that was like summer weather was 3 weeks ago. Oh well, nonetheless, we had our friends Line and Carsten over for a bbq on Saturday night to watch the bomb fires along the Bay here for Sankt Hans Dag (the witch burning tradition and summer solstice evening). It was a lovely evening and we snuggled up with lots of candles and blankets.

(Some early fires starting)
Yesterday I had some errands to run and took a nice long bike ride. So today, I managed to finally work on my White Tulips and I am almost finished. I am pretty much wrapping up the painting now. I completed the leaves with: light green, lemon yellow, pathlo green and some Sap Green – wet in wet and some scrubbings:
And the vase with some tit-white, naples yellow, Prussian blue
The vase close up...I am very happy with it, but I might still add some more lights in the little flowers. This will all be done at the end with the last tweakings.
Next I will tackle the white tulips with tit-white, Prussian blue, paynes grey, and some turquoise….Wish me luck! I hate working with white.
Finished the white flowers and I am very happy with the results. Only the background left to do:
Stay tuned for the final painting. Wishing you a great day! and Happy painting and blogging!

It looks like you had a lovely weekend Lisa...the fires look really cozy...
your painting looks beautiful...I love the greens in the leaves....they are such a wonderful contrast to the crispness of the tulips....the blue is working so well with the greens and the whites...
happy painting...
