A recent painting I did during a traumatic time caring for my dear friend who had just been diagnosed with stage 4 cancer. We had several trips to the hospital and in the car park there they had planted the most beautiful tulips! My favourite Rembrandt tulips or "Broken tulips" as they are more commonly known due to their stripey colour mutation .The tulips were fading fast and losing their petals but still incredibly beautiful with their bold stripes and delicate white transparency. I knew i had to paint them so i persuaded my friend to drive back so I could pick just 2 fading blooms. Painting the broken tulips whilst my friend was sleeping gave me some joy in a time of extreme sorrow . These are for her.

Study in oils of my favorite tulip commonly known as the Rembrandt or broken tulip - the stripes and subtle colour shifts combined with the unusual curling of the petals is in fact caused by a mutation. These particular tulips symbolised great wealth and beauty as far back as the 15th century and have been a popular motif for many great masters of realism.I painted it on a gilded background to bring out the contrasting colours.

I rescued this poor little mouse from my cat's jaws! It sat so long gaining its strength that I managed to do a quick sketch of him and then later on a study in oils. After a feast of delicious crumbs It eventually ran happily away back into the woods :-)
