Tulips

"Mad Tulips" by Mary Licause

watercolor

The Art Society of Kingston

will host a show during

the month of May. The theme 

will be "The Great Tulip Scandal."

Location: 97 Broadway, Kingston, NY

Gallery hours: 2-6:  Tuesday

thru Sunday.

ART WORKS: "In 1636-1637 in the Netherlands,

a frenzied hype started a whole investment boom,

for two months, a single tulip bulb, due to their rarity

and supply-and-demand, became equal 

to a half year's wages of a common labor."

I am enthralled by the tulip scandal.

Tulips have always been a Sassy Pat

favorite.

Years ago I knitted a "Tulip Lace Cardigan"

for Miss Grace. She wore it to Sunday school.

It can be found in Daddy's Little Girl

by Leisure Arts.

It is a nineteen row repeat.

Takes a little patience and 

a lot of focus but well worth 

the effort.

I might even be able to find

the photo... given enough time.

Maybe.

Enjoy the tulips.
