I am back with another page from the art journal I made for my friend Tejal. When I started creating this page, all I knew was that I wanted to use white tulips as focal point on this page as they are an absolute favorite of Saumya. Before I went ahead and used tulips, I decided to read a little history about Tulips.

Did you know that tulips are one of the most loved flowers world over. They originated centuries ago in Persia and Turkey and were brought to Europe from there. They got the name Tulip in Europe from the word "Tulipa" which meant turban. Tulip in general signifies perfect love. However, each color of tulip signifies a special meaning. So what does white tulip signify?
- White tulips represent forgiveness.
- They represent pure and passionate love.
- It is associated with happiness and love.
- It also often associated with the word "victory".
- They also signify purity and innocence.

Isn't that beautiful how many varied emotions the lovely tulips represent? As the focal point of this page was going to be white tulips, I decided to use bright colors for the background and yet keep it simple as I wanted to the focus to be on tulips and quotes (which again was one of Saumya's favorite).
