I really admire the painter Shirley Trevena so thought I'd give her approach a bash on this loose bunch of tulips & hyacinths ... and I enjoyed it!
Odd to start with no final painting in mind - just to throw some colour on paper and take it from there and think about the composition as it happens instead of planning it all. I did go in and draw with some white ink in the end though ... I just had to have a bit of line!!!!
It's still taped to the board here but I think it might work quite well cropped in with a nice big white mount .... very 'springy'! ... unlike the misery I see when I look out of the window!
Might try more like this and see where it goes.
