Tulips for Grandpa


Tulips for Grandpa by Marianne Vander Dussen

Tulips for Grandpa (24” x 36”, oil on canvas, 2017)

Commissioned by my grandmother in honour of my grandfather’s memory. My grandpa emigrated from Holland to Canada after the war. Before WWII, his family owned and operated a successful greenhouse business. Tulips are synonymous with the Netherlands, and remain one of my favourite flowers.
