Daffodils

Daffodil. Mixed media/Board. 8" X 8". 2020. SOLD!

Sally Avery once told me that there was nothing like selling a picture. Because it said someone loved something you did enough to not only part with their cash but to want to own it and live with it, no matter how small, no matter what medium. She was right. I Sold this at my recent show at Society For The Protection of New Hampshire Forests in Concord, NH. My first show here.  Many new friends and neighbors came by the house to talk with me about my work. Something that has never happened to me before. I did this in May 2020. Our yard in NJ had an abundance of daffodils as they were always something we purchased or gave as gifts at Easter. There was a hillside in Tappan, NY that was absolutely covered with them. It was right alongside the Palisades Pkwy. I always looked forward to navigating my walk there so I could sketch and photograph them. But my favorite daffodils have always been the ones that somehow make it into sections of forests or grow wildly from the hubris on roadsides or in drainage ditches. Those are the ones that catch my attention the most. And though we have three weeks of Winter left, and possibly more storms, we are very close to seeing the first daffodils which, along with the humble crous,  are the first to announce spring!
