Canadian Tulip Festival:  I was chosen to paint a five foot tulip for display at the tulip festival in 2005.  This tulip has been on exhibits across Canada since then and will be on exhibit again during this year's tulip festival between May 4th and May 22nd, 2006.  Below you can see a photo of my completed tulip, as photographed by a professional photographer for postcards that will be sold at the event.
