In painting this picture I discovered how difficult it is to mix a clear purple in oil paint. Eventually, I found a tube of Dioxazine Purple No. 47 and it was the closest I could get to the colour I wanted. The crocus is a study! Just look at the little men standing in the middle of each flower. They made me laugh! I enjoyed creating this painting knowing that I could never replicate the perfection of nature. My attempt is good enough!
