Daisies

Daisies
Medium: Acrylic
Base: Board
Year: 2010
Acrylic painting of daisies from the garden. A nice simple topic with a small range of colours. Painted simply for a clean uncluttered finish.
Whilst looking through my art books on impressionist painters, I was reminded that you don't have to go wandering too far to get some interesting subjects for paintings.
Many now famous artists from the past found wonderful material in their own gardens and neighbourhoods. Van Gogh did some in his own dwelling, so who am I to argue with the masters?
While the garden still had some blooms left I went with camera in hand to get some material. The daisies were a stand out inclusion.
After cropping some photos and doing a little colour adjusting, I found this nice little arrangement. It was only meant to be a quick practice piece, but after uploading to the Paintings I Love website, the positive feedback I got from other artists has moved me to put it on my website for display.
