This month I’ve been concentrating on tulips. I’ve been painting or sketching at least one a day and creating a list about tulips from my research - Tulips from A - Z. There is a comforting poem - below - about tulips and loved ones who are no longer with us. Many of my friends have lost loved ones and I hope this will provide comfort. Honey, no matter where you are, I'm with you.
