Tiptoe through the tulips

Ahh, at last the garden awakes!

I never cease to get excited as soon as the spring flowers bloom, my imagination seems to go into overdrive and I find myself scribbling down ideas on any available bits of paper, old envelopes and newspaper edges. I have a basket in the studio full of sketches on odd scraps, which to some people would look like a waste paper bin, but it is my ideas library. It is just like the bran tub at the school fete, I put my hand in and rummage around and always come out with something to smile about. Last week it was the inspiration for Tiptoe through the tulips. This painting gives me a warm fuzzy feeling, sunshine on your shoulders, the smell of fresh flowers all around and the comfort of a special friend. I hope you like it.
