All over daisies
Posted: July 30, 2022 Filed under: Uncategorized 6 CommentsI missed my opportunity to paint the daisies in their prime when they were upright, bright white, and had petals open to face the sun. Now they are shriveled, brownish and flopping over. Maybe that makes them more interesting.
In a composition like this it’s hard to find a focus, but I knew that when I started. Instead I tried to tie them together with a darker background that shifted from red (that’s a purple smokebush on the left) to green to dirty yellow. Painted with a limited palette of Hansa Yellow, Hooker’s Green and Alizarin Crimson, with a little blue for the shadows on the petals.
…simply and utterly delightful–breezy, immediate, all of summer distilled down to a fresh display of pure pleasure. Thank you!
Looks like my daisies 😂

Love this. Daisies are such a happy flower! I like the limited palette. So much we can do with so little.
A marvellous and clever approach and excellent result!
