Yellow Daffodils of March

This painting was so fun for so many reasons.  
The combination of turquoise and purple... Yummy!  
Smearing paint with a palette knife... Yes please!...
Daffodils... Love!

March is the month of yellow where we live. 


The Weekly-ish prompt was "March."  

Thanks to Sara for a reference image that I used once with irises and again now with daffodils.

Light Yellow Sunflower

Why do I love this particular sunflower so much?

Because it's balanced - symmetrical, but not really - just right? Because it was the biggest, tallest, strongest one in the garden? Because it's bright and fiery even though it's a soft yellow? Maybe because of the memory of how hard I laughed (and how mad I got) at the squirrel who climbed up the stalk for a feast on its seeds - while spitting seed shells all over the tomato plant below. Somehow it's just the right symbol to represent me.

Yes, it's for sale on my Etsy site, but I put a price too high on it and hardly ever renew it all in the hopes that no one will ever buy it. Is that silly? Wouldn't it be better to just take it off? Hmmmm... Maybe I should. Maybe I will.

If the day comes that someone else loves it enough to buy it, I'll probably cry as I package it up to ship.

Bright Yellow Sunflower

Nothing says summer like a sunflower!

I grew a great crop of sunflowers in my garden a couple of summers ago. They bloomed just in time for my nephew's wedding party that was held in my backyard. Luckily I snapped a few photos that day because I caught a squirrel climbing up a stalk and helping herself to the seeds the very next day!

Wedding Flowers

This flower and berry arrangement makes me sigh...
It's not the color combination or the arrangement of flowers...
It's the memory...
Love, contentment, laughter, tears of joy...
Friends and family gathered for a beautiful day...

This grouping was placed on the side of my daughter's wedding cake.
Simple... elegant... lovely...

The painting "Wedding Flowers" can be purchased by following this link.
