The inspiration of Evergreen Tulip came from my mother’s garden from when I was a little girl. She had grown this beautiful chartreuse tulip that even in the dark, gave a beautiful bright green glow. Year after year these tulips popped up. And, I remember being completely fascinated that the flower could actually be green. The contrast of these green tulips and the other brilliant spring flowers in the warmth of her garden was breathtaking.
Color: Mixture of a deep Hershey chocolate background with rich green stems and white with chartreuse green petals
Hi Quinn and Diana: The piece arrived just wonderfully and she was deeply moved and touched. It was as much about the thought as it was about the quality of the gift. It is really a beautiful piece. I am grateful for your care and talent. Thanks again, and maybe you will be the festival next year and I can listen to jazz, drink some sangria and see more beauty - smile. R.M.

Hi Diana-- A year ago we bought one of your paintings in Palm Springs, and in February we saw you there again. When I told you we'd remodeled our bar back home in Virginia to have a nice place to hang the painting, you said you'd like a photo, so here it is. I think it worked out very nicely, and the whole new look is giving us a lot of pleasure. Best. A.R.
