Lovely painting of this clump of marguerites Maureen very successful rendering of the dappled shade across the flower heads, this so good it feels like we could just bend down and look these in the garden they are so realistic

This has got a feel good factor

Beautiful realistic daisies. You have captured the light so well. I love that it is such an uncluttered simple theme and yet so full of life. As a friend of mine would say, it 'POPS'!!!

This is a super painting - the flowers are so realistic and I love the light and shadow on them.

Thank you all for your lovely comments. It's very encouraging hearing your views.

Beautiful little painting Maureen. I seem to have "painter's block" at the moment but this just might get me going again!

Thanks, Marjorie. I'm only too familiar with 'painter's block' and feel I'm now just getting out of a long lasting rut. I'm hoping to keep the momentum going ... we shall see! I do hope you get (what you feel to be) going again soon although I haven't seen any evidence of a 'block' with you at all!!!

Do you remember last summer, the one day when the sun finally shone? The marguerites looked resplendent and with dappled light in the background they formed the perfect picture. So recently, looking out at yet another miserable day, and to cheer myself up, I decided it was time to think of warmer days to come ... and this is the result. For a change I've used a linen support for my painting and am now a convert! I'm also using acrylic a lot more, particularly for smaller pieces. This painting is 25cms x 35.5cms (10" x 14") and would suit any interior space.
