Spring is nearly here. Weather is finally getting better. Much drier and somewhat warmer. Still a bit windy though. And still having early nights, for another week. Despite this, the threat of the terrible pandemic won’t allow us to get much of the outdoor season for painting. And I was looking forward to it. But, never mind. Painting still life could be as challenging. And anyway, it is good practice too. Hence, I decided to do another floral still life. With some daffodils and other flowers from the garden. I painted it mostly alla prima, over few days, so the flowers started dying before I completed the painting. I used a reduced palette, my usual, with some lapis lazuli added. Still no medium. So, here it is: “Still life with daffodils and other flowers.” Oil on linen. 24 X 30 cm (9” X 12”).
