My rescued daffodils are getting a little droopy ... as is my treatment of this subject. My friend Mike says I always lose a little energy as I repeat a subject, and he's right.
Wasn't too happy with the one above, so I did the quick, wet, no-drawing sketch below, to try to bring a little energy back to it.
Yes, there's a freshness in the bottom one done without drawing, just putting down the color = gorgeous! I think we all get too tight when we redo something even if it's something we love to paint. But I love all your daffodils so don't stop doing them!!
ReplyDelete... Although you are not having that problem with your wonderfully inventive crow series!
DeleteI won't stop till the daffodils are gone!

DeleteI think they’re both beautiful, I do enjoy doing a painting with no sketch, it forces me to keep loose! In my painting not my life, 🙃
ReplyDeleteI used to paint without drawing more often ... It does really help loosen you up; also a good way to tryvout color mixes?
ReplyDeleteI love both paintings, and I think you paint daffodils superbly.
ReplyDeleteThey aren't an easy flower to paint -- so brightly glorious --
but you get them every time. Love your work to the max.
