Thank you Jill. All the beautiful spring flowers paintings in the gallery inspired me. Thank you Roger. Thank you Jenny. I agree with you about the dark vase. Thank you Carole. Quick paintings are sometimes fresher because there’s no time to start faffing about. Thank you Stephen. That’s s great compliment. Thank you Tessa. I enjoyed painting the buds more thanthe flowers.

So well painted Diana. Those daffodil stems form a lovely pattern don't they? Look good against the blue vase as well.

Thank you Louise, Carole, Jim, Linda, Cesare and David. Lovely to hear from you The almost black / blue if the vase was a real lesson in observation of to tonal value. I particularly like daffodils in it because of its shape and colour
