    This blog documents the creation of eleven paintings inspired by the 17th century palette of works in Rembrandt and the Golden Age of Dutch Art, an exhibition that traveled to three U.S. cities in 2006-07. During June of 2007, all eleven paintings were presented as my exhibit, Lessons from the Low Countries, while the Rembrandt exhibit debuted its three-month stay at the Portland Art Museum in Portland, Oregon. Read the documentation and see all finished works of this year-long project in the August 2006 through June 2007 entries on this blog.

Tulips 101

One of my blog readers wrote a wonderful and informative comment on the post The Tears of Fernad. She is an avid gardener filled with terrific ideas about how to care for tulips as a cut flower. According to her, they are the only flower that continues to grow after they are cut. To read more of her clever ideas, click on the "comment 1" in the Fernad post below. Thanks Mimi. I will use your ideas for longer lasting subject matter while painting those irresistible flowers!
