Tulipani viola - Maria Emanuela Fiori

Three tulips stand on a pale apricot ground, painted in streaks of pink, blue and violet over white so the colour runs down the length of each petal. Long green and yellow-green leaves cross behind and in front of them, and the ground is left as a flat wash with nothing else in it.

Gouache on paper, the petals streaked wet in two or three colours at once. Maria Emanuela Fiori is an Italian illustrator, born and living in Sardinia, who works in dense gouache and takes her forms from nature. Available as a poster or fine art canvas print in multiple sizes.
