Artist Note.

A friend gave me these from her garden.

I was really captivated by the red rim

around the yellow center.

I started off by placing the vase

outside in a bunch of weeds -

just to see the color the white petals

turned with the blue sky 

casting its color down on them. 

I made a few color notes 

then I came back inside

and finished it off with a warm spotlight

imitating the sun.

Have you ever placed a piece of white paper

in the shadow area outside?

It has to be where the sky is directly overhead.

It is AMAZING how blue the paper becomes.

Better still, try placing it half in shadow 

and half in the sunshine...wowzer!

The name The Poets Daffodil - Narcissus
is very appealing. The legend and history
I found interesting. If you have time
