PAINTING OF THE MONTH

1st March, 2026

There have to be daffodils on St David’s Day. Like many artists I have painted daffodils many times and love the explosion of colour into our lives after a long winter. This is half contre jour (against the light) and half against the studio wall. Blue and yellow are a classic combination which I achieved with a limited palette of two yellows, two reds and two blues.

This painting is still available here.
