Always coming with the spring;
In the meadows green I'm found,
Peeping just above the ground,
And my stalk is cover'd flat
With a white and yellow hat.
Little Mary, when you pass
Lightly o'er the tender grass,
Skip about, but do not tread
On my bright but lowly head,
For I always seem to say,
"Surely winter's gone away."
- Ann Taylor, "The Field Daisy"
A daily practice of sketching and painting gives you a chance to exercise the big three P's - practice, practice, practice!
"Daisies Postcard" - Watercolour on handwritten background text on Visual 200gsm - 12" x 10"
Every Spring, the daisies in my garden spring up with such exuberance and last spring I just had to paint some of them!
I'm exploring doing some watercolours on back-grounds with handwriting on them (this one from Boccacino), and find it gives some lovely soft effects. First I print out the texture on watercolour paper and then add the sketches and watercolours.
I love your daisies Maree. A beautiful postcard.
ReplyDeleteAh, thanks ever so much Teri! Every now and then I go through a stage of doing daisies, just love them!
