Pink Flock, by Canadian Artist Kim Blair

I heard while I was on Salt Spring Island, off the BC coast, that they are about 4 weeks late in the growing season.   There were tulips and daffodils, but too early for iris.  It was wonderful to see some colour in the gardens... and when I saw this grouping of pink tulips I snapped a number of photos for painting reference.  I think I looked like a desperate tourist.

The locals probably thought I resembled a blood hound with my camera lens, sniffing out any and every spring flower I could find.
