Excellent work. Daffs must be difficult to capture because I’ve seen a lot of not-so-good paintings of them, but this is first rate.

Very inspiring for me, as it’s exactly the kind of thing I like, and am trying to achieve in my own work.

Did you use a reference photo? I’m always interested to see how closely people follow their reference as I am still learning how to decide what to follow and what to change when it comes to backgrounds.

Thank you. Yes, I did use a photo. This is actually from the monthly challenge for May in the flowers and botanicals forum, Plan Parade. I started too late to finish on time and decided to post it here instead, since it’s CP.

For the shading on the yellows I exaggerated whatever color the shadow leaned towards, rather than keeping everything strictly yellow. I had originally intended to add more layers of yellow to the shadows, but I liked the variety and decided to leave it.

Really like this. Particularly like the dead leaves with the living. The contrast is makes one want to look from one side to the other and back again.

Love the daffodils and amazed by the greenery and the dead stems on the right.

Nicely done! I would have gone sideways a hundred times in all that tangled grass! Haha!
