Atomic Cafe - Red Tulip

While I’m taking time to recover from Lyme Disease (my motor skills are still out of balance), I’ve been reflecting on how much I miss the simple act of holding a brush.
In the meantime, I wanted to share one of my favorite paintings: “Atomic Cafe – Red Tulip” (oil on canvas, 30” x 30”).
This piece began with a quiet moment at the Gardens of Central Park in Warsaw, IN, when I looked up and saw a single red tulip glowing against the bright blue sky. What captivated me was the play of cadmium red and orange hues, and the way the sunlight illuminated the petals in contrast to that endless blue.
It became less about the flower itself and more about immersion in color and light—a joyful visual meditation.
