Never Enough Daffodils
Well April started with a snowstorm and ended with Daffodils. Those flouncy, brilliant flowers that bring such a ray of sunshine into our homes are wonderful to paint. They have such a distinctive
profile. I chose to paint this version in oils on a papered background on a wood panel.

Daffodils in April
March can be such a blustery cruel month and such a contrast to the month of April bringing

Happy Easter!
This was painted last Spring of 2012. Not wanting to miss out on this year's
early Spring flowers, I've been photographing all the lovely Easter flowers that are around. Happy Spring and Happy Easter to all of you.

Back tracking...

Before the series of red tulips I had painted more daffodils, one of which I had posted. This one is 6" x 12" tall. I guess since I had pointed out how often I liked to use this porcelain rabbit, I thought I should post this one too. The sunlight happened to light up this little tableau on my ledge and I reached for my camera. I'll have to remember to keep some daffodil paintings to light up my desk area in the greyer months of winter.
Every Saturday morning here in town, there is a second hand shop that opens it's doors for two hours from 10:00 a.m. until noon. I've been going there for years and find the most wonderful things (like this rabbit). This morning I bought a porcelain cat in a wonderful shade of gray that I'm looking forward to arranging as well as some great baskets and if I don't delay I should be able to collect some peonies to arrange in these baskets before their bloom time is over. It's hard to keep up with what's blooming, arranging, photographing, filing away for future reference and prepping canvases!

Daffodils on my Easel
Daffodils 6" x 6"
Oil on wood panel
$80.00
Last season I noticed my painting became tighter when what I really wanted was to loosen up. So now I am trying not to linger too long over these small format paintings. I'd like to say all I want to do with this one is to strengthen values here and there which is why I'm taking a break to let me isolate what absolutely needs to be done and not sit there with brush in hand and putter away.
Wish me luck!
I've also started the May calendar which lets me indulge in digital projects. Last month was the first one and the response was so fun, I'd like to continue.
I'll post that one sometime next week (lillies of the valley will be part of the May theme).
