Tulips To Music is part of my Flower A Day Project.
On a canvas sheet I printed the music to the song Beautiful by Christina Aguilera. I then painted open tulips in oils, added a few minor details digitally and viola, there you have it, “Tulips To Music.”
One of the details I appreciate about this painting is the hint of a heart in the clouds above the flowers. The oils used really make this painting shine. They were a gift that has been much appreciated.
Spring may be far off but flowers are forever when planted on canvas.

It usually doesn’t take me 7 or 8 days to complete one painting but it looks like this one will need even more time. Seven days now but I’m getting closer.
The painting shows a young African-American child walking through a field of sunflowers and wildflowers while being guided by an older Black angel.
Painting Details: The sky and flowing water meet and roll around her skirt into a field of flowers. There are two small butterflies floating above a sunflowers, one single white daisy. The child has small green leaves as trim for her clothing and is holding a tiny little flower.
I believe the final version will make a slight distinction between the sky and water. I may also add a few tiny details to the adult angel but other than that Watch Over Our Children is nearly completed.
Update:
Ah yes, it sometimes takes awhile but the end result is worth it.
The colors have been changed dramatically as were the flowers but I like this version best.
Thanks for visiting,

The light swirls around her legs, up through her butterfly wings and out of her fingertips. She touches the tallest flower and it continues to grow. Together they stand in The Heart of Light.
Painting details: The little girl’s wings are partially transparent. The stem of the large flower is shaped into a heart at the little one’s feet. All the flowers come from the heart, all light is directed at the heart. There’s one small ladybug in the far right corner of the painting. And of course there’s a sunflower in her brown hair.
Title: The Heart of Light

In my art I often symbolize youth and innocence with the colour green. I use purple and blue to express value and honor. White is usually synonymous with purity. In the painting called “Each Day A Gift” this young girl stands with her arms extended as she accepts a gift from the world that embraces her value and honors her innocent and the purity of her heart.

Art details: The young girl’s hair is made of leaves as are her wings. Purity (white clouds) are at her feet, the trees are blue and shades of deep purple. A white bright light centers her sky. This painting is based on a pencil sketch.
