Red Tulip life

This illustration was drawn in the spring of 2023 at war. This flower symbolizes the arrival of spring, which was stolen from us.

How quickly tulips bloom and just as quickly they fade. Especially if you cut them and put them in a vase.
I wanted to show everyone the life of this beautiful red tulip. From the very peak of flowering to wilting and shedding of petals.
