Crazy Tulips

•

"Union Square Greenmarket, a great place for flowers in the spring. These crazy-looking tulips, so appropriate for New York - sophisticated beyond recognition. Red-striped, yellow-frilled tulips, bleeding into my dreams."- Nancy Boudreau, April 13th 2011

Links to the Union Square Greenmarket, and a couple of sites that describe the delight of it all, Essential New York and What Is Fresh.

This is a 5" x 7" acrylic painting on gessoed and lovingly textured mat board. Sealed with a gloss clear coat and delivered in a cream-colored 8" x 10" mat, ready for framing. The text above is handwritten by the artist on the back of the painting. This is part of an ongoing series of small works, paintings with prose and poetry, that was started in June 2007.

Bearded Iris

Iris come in an amazing array of colors and form, this one being "Bearded", referring to the fuzzy tongue that lolls out over its petals. These yellow-colored Bearded Iris are sometimes confused with the Yellow Flag Iris, a wet-loving invasive plant. - Nancy Boudreau

Here's a link to a Google Images page full of yellow iris. Can you tell which are "Flag" and which are "Bearded"?

This drawing was created using Prismacolor pencil on paper, a long-time favorite of mine. All the drawings of this set of sixteen, are 4.5" x 4.5", are under cream-colored mats and framed in honey-colored maple, ready to hang. Each framed piece measures 16.5" x 16.5". The series, which was completed in 1997, is for sale as a set for $3200. They are made available to you directly from the artist.
