A Taste of Tulips

Happy Wednesday! I made this painting last December and never got around to photographing it properly. This painting has become one of my favorites because of the amount of time, love, and care it took to finish it. It was quite a challenge! I was inspired by Christian Dior's Spring 2009 Haute Couture collection and 17th century Dutch art. His collection was actually inspired by 17th century Dutch art, which is a big part of why I fell in love with the dresses. They are so gorgeous and you can clearly see the Dutch motifs in the dresses, from the tulips to the china. I copied the flowers from Dutch still-life paintings. I hope you all enjoy it as much as I do. :)
