daffodils!

                                11x12

Need to work on the cast shadow colors; these are too warm. And maybe not strong enough--though I think I care more about the color, and the shape.

Going to spend 1 hour each morning for the next week painting daffodils.

The strategy this spring is to draw groupings of daffodils, looking for good shapes and arrangements. Then I'll have the drawings to refine and trace even after the daffodils are gone.

Though by then I will probably be ready to move on to irises! A few in my yard are already budding. Everything is happening too fast!
