Spring has finally arrived. And because spring is the season of flowers, it is time to paint more flowers. This could be an endless subject. So vast that they were and still are painters dedicated almost entirely to paint flowers. Even if just done for a while it is captivating. I think I should paint more flowers. Anyway, I picked some daffodils and few other little flowers from the garden and did a quick setup with a small vase. I painted it alla prima over two or three sessions; flowers are not actually patient subjects and tend to fade or change quickly, so one needs to paint them fast. Unless, of course, if you use artificial flowers. I used mostly, my usual palette, introducing some cobalt blue and lapis lazuli and some ivory black. Still no medium. So here it is: “A vase with daffodils.” Oil on linen board. 24X 30cm (9” X 12”).
