Red Tulips

I had just started my painting course when I had the opportunity to accompany my wife to Holland. First stop was the Van Gogh Museum in Amsterdam, an educational and seductive tour, an encouragement to study color and its effect on the perception of reality.

Although I was enchanted by his Sunflowers, I was afraid of dealing with such an important subject, so I chose a simpler subject: a field of tulips.

The difficulty of this painting was to represent the most distant flowers, which in the original photograph appeared blurry and poorly defined.
