Catching Up

I seem to wander off and forget about posting new images.  Here are a couple more daffodils that I played with recently. The one on the right is only 5"x5".  I under painted in quinacridone gold and only had magenta as the red.  It's pleasing but doesn't have the feeling of completeness that this other one on the left does 10"x8").  I tried to paint an intimate feel with not too many brush strokes.

I hope to publish some images from my recent forays to paint the Mexican poppies in El Paso--two trips in all, despite the wind!

Signs of Spring!

Daffodils offer a glowing spark in the gloom of even the cloudiest day.  My heart sings when I see them.  "Hooray!  Signs of spring are at hand!"


These little daffys are my tribute to the hope of spring arriving.  "Signs of Spring," 7x5 oil on board.  These were purchased and didn't last long.  My own garden will soon be a celebration of yellow.
