'River of Tulips'

Digital Painting

River of Tulips started as a 16 x 10" (41 x 25 cm) egg tempera painting. I spent many hours of painstaking labour over the details of the painting. But I remained unhappy with the result. So I took a photograph of the painting and then painted over it digitally until I arrived at a painting that now conveys the idea I originally had in mind.

I could easily paint on the original egg tempera painting with egg tempera paint until I arrived at the result you see here. Maybe one day I will! You can see the original egg tempera painting here.
