Description
A walk around unfamiliar gardens on a soft spring evening is likely to be just the time and place to discover a little magic. Just beside a wonderfully weather-beaten old doorway we found an unexpected pop of color. A perfect red and yellow parrot tulip displays his silent beauty all by himself ... for his few brief hours ... and we're there to see him. Thank heavens I wasn't born a parrot tulip. If I were that pretty I'm sure I'd have a very hard time being quiet about it.
I keep meaning to make a little list of the quotes I find that I love. One of my all time favorites, by Roal Dahl, seems to fit this image and the circumstances of its discovery:
"And above all, watch with glittering eyes the whole world around you because the greatest secrets are always hidden in the most unlikely places."
Fine art purchases of this image will not include a watermark, and if I may make a recommendation ... this image will look its very best on the fine art paper choice of "picture rag."
Original photographic image upon which this digital painting is based was discovered in a discreet corner near Charles Town, WV.

Hello Lois, your work is simply put Beautiful, thank you for contributing to the contest and helping make it a success, without wonderful talent like yourself, I'd be looking at blank pages and those aren't so pretty. :) So thank you, I love your work. L/F/FB
