This painting is on an 1/8"Aquabord by Ampersand. I love how vibrant the colors remain on this surface and the fact that the resulting painting does not need any glass. I love to display these small panels on a mini easel, but they can also be inserted in a regular frame. In this miniature, thetulip petals are outlined in synthetic gold leaf and the painting has a glossy, almost glass-like finish. It makes a perfect small gift for all occasions..think Mother's Day, Birthday, hostess gift, teacher's gift.. On a small easel ( available starting around $ 1   approx. at Walmart or Michaels), it can sit on a shelf, near your computer. You can also insert it in a small frame or even a larger frame with a small opening. Whatever you decide, this beautiful tulip will add a touch of delicate color, beauty and serenity to any room and year round.
