At the End of the Garden

Garden Daffs 2

Oil on Linen Panel

5.5" x 7.5"

Each April I am blessed with a blaze of colour at the end of the garden. Four of Five variety of daffodils emerge on the border of the lawn in front of the walnut tree. This year their appearance coincided with a spell of glorious weather so I took the opportunity to get out of the studio and do a series of small studies. Daffs are a joy to paint as they flutter in the breeze catching the fleeting sunlight between passing clouds. It is so good working outside where conditions demand quick decisions which result in a freer more painterly style. I have had these small studies framed up and they will be available at my Open Studios Exhibition - here at 22 Station Road 23rd July - 6th August Open Daily 10 am to 5pm.
