Daisies
Posted: June 30, 2020 Filed under: Uncategorized 18 CommentsI’ve been waiting for these big daisies to open so I could paint them. I picked a few yesterday and put them in a vase with some other blooms, but after repeated tries I couldn’t make an interesting painting from them. I struggled with them as much as I struggle with painting sunflowers. Just big circles that I can never make into a decent composition. In the end I went out to the garden, where I should have sketched them to begin with.
OMGOMGOMG!!!

Does that mean you like it Karim?

Very nice!
Merci Jerome!
Ha! I am in the same boat. I picked a bunch of daisies yesterday, tried to paint them in a vase, and had no luck. I will follow your lead and head outside in the morning! Lovely piece Shari!
Thanks Connie. I hope you have better luck today too.
I have some daisies of my own to paint, so I like seeing how you handled them. Lovely greens!
Thanks Jean! Lots of negative painting in this one. And I know you know how to do that!
After I finish your on-line workshop on “water”, I guess I’ll have to tackle my own daisies-maybe I’ll paint them next to some water!
Denise, I think that’s a good plan. I hope you’re enjoying the class.
All the classes have been fabulous!
I love the flow of greens. Interesting viewpoint. We’re you sitting on the lawn?
Thanks Alison. I wasn’t sitting right in on the ground. I was on my folding stool which gave me a low enough viewpoint to get this angle.
Good idea. I have a very low stool. But getting up will require a roll over and downward dog to get back up!
Good Evening dear friend Shari,
Very beautiful, Green, Yellow White matching is unique.
Blessings,
Uma
Lots of negative painting – but such a positive outcome! Lovely, lovely sketch.
And I laughed out loud at Alison’s comment about rolling over and downward dog, so relatable!
Daisies are so natural in the garden, I am not surprised that you had to paint them there. It is a beautiful painting too!

Thanks. I’m glad it wasn’t lost. Great talking to you today. We should do that more often.
