Thirty years ago, I received a tulip—fragile, fleeting, yet unforgettable. I captured it then in acrylic, a tender gesture preserved in time. But as I grew, so did my art. Drawn to the depth and emotion found in the dance of warm and cool tones, I returned to the painting with oil, letting color speak with new life. This work is not just a flower-it, it is a moment remembered, reimagined, and reborn. A tribute to a gift that never faded. A bloom that lives on.
