Their stems and leaves are painted with bold, quick strokes. Behind them, a smaller stone pot holds darker, rounded leaves that contrast with the tulips.

Its strong direction turns a simple indoor scene into a still life and a study of light.

What makes it different is the lively use of light.

Herriott then created several preparatory studies, refining the colors and composition before painting the final version on canvas. She chose to frame the scene through an open doorway, inviting viewers to feel like quiet observers who have come across a private moment.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 12.0pt;\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"margin-bottom: 3.0pt;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: #333333;\"\u003eHerriott says: 'I have long been interested in developing more substantial works from these quick studies completed in life drawing classes.
