(7.5x11)
Another shot at the daffodils; I'm beginning to feel a little dogged in my pursuit of a bright, pure, pleasing yellow--it continues to elude me.
It may be time to move to orchids for a while ...
For a change of pace I took one of New Mexico photos and made the small (5x5.5), quick, wet picture below. When I selected this particular photo, I must have been subconsciously thinking of Suzanne's recent and ongoing and lovely series of paintings featuring roads (www.suzannemcdermott.blogspot.com); it's fascinating to see, in her series, how the road evolves, or unwinds ...



May also try a self-portrait, inspired by Suzanne. I've did two about three years ago: the one in my "profile" and another, in which I look rather glum and sulky.

Wow! A vibrant path! I like it. And thanks for the link. Regarding the colors of the daffodils, I'm going to post about my favorite watercolor brand next week on my great day.

I look forward to reading about your fave colors. Yellow is often a problem for me; I have several yellows that I like--aureolin, indain--I just don't handle them well!
