This painting basically started painting itself. I used it to clean my brushes off with all the colours from a previous painting. I don't usually tone my canvas that way but it was staring at me almost daring me to start a new "large" painting. When I came back to my studio, I could see the tulip shapes on the canvas.
I was quite happy to start painting without having to come up with the idea, design, colours etc, they were already basically there. I have some texture on it as well, but it doesn't show up in my photos. I painted the sides so it can be hung without a frame. A large, nice happy, and bright cheery painting.

Love this one Karen! The colors are so nice together. What an interesting painting technique to try by cleaning paint off brushes on the canvas,then building a painting from whatever image presents itself. I will have to try this myself.
