Birthday Bird

It seems that spring is finally here in the Midwest! Let's celebrate with a bright garden picture. I painted this greeting card a couple years ago for my grandma's birthday. She loves flowers. I think I just did the whole painting from my head. I like the blend of yellow and orange on the tulips. And the yellow and red blended in on the green leaves. I just dabbed the paintbrush in several colors at once and painted it all in one stroke. Then when everything was dry I put in the detailed bird and gloves. It was really fun to paint! I wrote a birthday poem for the inside; of course, now I can't remember it.
