An American artist, Susan van Campen has created a number of outstanding botanical works of art in the medium of oil painting, watercolor and lithography, such as "Sunflower, August", "German Bearded Irises", "Apple Tree, October", "Bowl of Yellow Roses", "Hibiscus"and "Asters". During the 1980's, the artist created a selection of lithographic floral designs, many in a large, horizontal format, such as this striking lithograph entitled, "Peach Tulips". Other titles in this medium include "Bearded Iris", "Lilies and Blue Bonnets", "Poppies", "Pink Lilies", and "Red Geraniums". In this original lithograph, Susan Headley van Campen depicts a floral theme with flowering tulips in shades of dark and light peach. Like all tulips, these magnificent flowers do best in areas with dry summers and cold winters. They are hardy and vigorous bulbous perennials that blooms in early spring and can grow as high as ten inches. The stems have strap-shaped and waxy coated leaves with a single flowering stalk. The flowers vary in shape depending on the species of tulips, from simple cups, to bowls, to goblets and other more complex shapes. Most tulips produce one, sometimes two splendid flowers per stem. Tulips come in a variety of single and mixed colors such as pink, peach, red, yellow, orange, violet, purple and white. |
