Memories of Daffodil Hill

Daffodils
Acrylic on panel - 4" x 4"
Sold

The inspiration for this painting came from last year's visit to Daffodil Hill in Volcano, California.   This Amador County jewel was an artists' paradise! The hilly terrain was carpeted with daffodils of every variety.  When I saw this variety of daffodil, I knew I had my subject.  I enjoyed painting all the colors that appeared in the shadows of the white petals...and then enhancing them just a bit.  With this painting, I feel I made a little progress in my attempt to break away from realism and become a more painterly painter. I hope you enjoyed this little taste of spring.
