A transient still life

Combining two challenges in the Dutch courses I follow, one about flowering and transience and one about looking at art. I do love a bit of chiaroscuro and creating still lifes  and can never throw away tulips until the very, very end.

Thank you all so much for loads of festive Abstract Thursday entries for its 300th challenge, it was a joy to see all the colour. Very hard to choose some specials so I picked examples of what you all brought to the party :-) This coming Thursday is the first one in April, it is even the first of April, no joke as it's also Maundy Thursday ! So no theme, just enter whatever you like as long as it's abstract and made on that day ! The tag will be AT301.

Here are the party specials :
youoregon1  for starting this and bringing  wine and chocolate
dfb24             for bringing  cake
H0tamer      for hanging the garlands
Inverculain  who brought  sparklers and
freespiral   who gave us Irish  dancing lessons

Thank you all again, onwards to the next 300 weeks :-)

And thank you for the kind comments, stars and even a heart for yesterday's tulip !
