The Center for the Creative Arts-CCArts- Yorklyn, Delaware accepted TULIPOMANIA© to be juried for their Annual Regional Fine Arts Exhibition.
Exhibit October 2-27, 2006
The term TULIPOMANIA originally came from the period in the history of the Netherlands during which demand for tulip bulbs reached such a peak, that enormous prices were charged for a single bulb.
It took place in the first part of the 17th century, especially in 1636-37.
Now the term tulip mania (alternatively tulipomania) is used metaphorically to refer to any large economic bubble.
This small acrylic is painted in a variety of reds on canvas.
Dimensions (SMALL!): 8x10 inches (20.3x25.4cm)
Found a home in DE

Beautiful painting. I have done smaller ones that are 8" x 10" also. I paint big ones though. This painting is for a customer who wants a large long painting. Thanks for the compliments. I find big painting easier to do. Tulipomania...thats funny.Martin Aas 27 Sep 2006

Hello Olga! How are you? I love this painting. It's so bold and 3 dimensional. Congratulations on getting in the top ten. It's a very worthy picture. I hope to be going to Amsterdam for a few days in October to visit the Rembrandts in the Rijks museum and the Van Gogh museum. This painting reminds me of the beautiful lowlands. Brilliant artwork!Mark Adams 22 Sep 2006

Interesting combination of bright flowers and a dark background. The explanation is fascinating. Man is always his own worst enemy, even when beautiful flowers are involved. Our technology seems to advance, but not our basic human natures. Tot ziens.Carrie Ann Watson 06 Sep 2006
