Gift to Myself no.8 was painted in the second year of the pandemic (2021).
Tulips in a vase against a yellow background as part of a series. They were my personal way of coping with the stresses involved with being the only family member leaving the house to go to work and mixing with a volume of people daily, before vaccinations started.
 
The idea of winding down looking at the effect of coloured background on flowers,  using oil paints, a medium I was learning about, worked beautifully and painting flowers in oils is an exercise I continue to this day.
 
Painted in oil paint on a 1x1m square deep edge canvas and strung ready to hang. The photo of the canvas on the wall in a room is for context only, the painting is not framed.
