Tulips, Oil Painting

2021

Artist Comments
A classical still life refreshingly infused with warm, bright colors. The glass tabletop sets the stage for the vase of flowers, accompanied by a ramekin of plump strawberries, an opened envelope, and jewelry. Just beyond, a wood and glass cabinet houses a collection of blue and white china. "This colorful bouquet of tulips brings spring sunshine and a romantic mood," says artist Nikolay Rizhankov.
