Janet Zeh Art Blog - paintings of birds, flowers, seascapes and country landscapes.
This painting of daffodils is as fresh as a breath of spring. It is one of those that just about painted itself. As one of my artist friends says, "I just grabbed the brush and held on." :)
Just the other day, the snow was melted enough in the gardens so that I could see little green shoots pointing up out of the ground. It's the daffodils. They are such hardy things, nothing kills them, even the freezing cold and snow. A good thing because last night we got a nor'easter, and today the daffs are covered with 12 inches of snow. I'm glad I saw them before the storm hit. I know that spring is really on the way!
A bunch of daffodils bloom brightly in the sunlight, their delicate blooms contrasted by a dark rock in the background. I just noticed today that little green daffodil shoots have popped up out of the ground where the snow has melted. They will be blooming like these before long!
A garden of spring flowers blooms in this painting. I am pleased with the richness of color and the effect of sunlight on the flowers. My three-color palette seems made for this piece.
Very pretty white daffodils with a pale yellow in the center of the trumpet, these daffodils will bloom alongside my driveway as they do every year. Right now, I can see their green shoots coming up out of the ground and growing taller every day. Soon they'll be blooming and nodding their dainty heads in the spring breeze.
Here is a glimpse from my spring bulb garden as it looks now: tulips coming up among the daffodils. I think the red tulip is stunning surrounded by yellow and white daffodils - a bright and cheery painting!
It's finally daffodil time here! Every window I look out on any side of the house has a view of yellow blooms catching the sunlight or nodding in the spring breeze. Robins are busy hopping about the lawn, the birds are all singing their spring songs. Wonderful!
