This composition comes from a reference photo of my neighbor's wonderful daffodils. Originally I was going for a graphic style with clean lines, but what came out is more flowing and painterly. There is some texture, in the petals, some was done with a palette knife, and some of which is coming through from the scraped painting beneath the surface. It began as a sunflower, but I wasn't happy with the outcome, and rubbed it out, let it dry, and painted over it. The majority of the daffodils was done with large brushes in long strokes. SOLD (to the neighbor who always plants the most beautiful flowers)
