With new daffodils blooming in my yard, I have instant still life material. I am working on minimizing the strokes in my painting to create freshness. It's much harder than it looks, and this took a very long time (with a couple throw aways). Look for a few more daffodil paintings, provided they last in my garden.
I've painted this on gessoed Bristol, which is a heavy paper. I am told by those in the know that when varnished, no glass is needed. If it were to be matted, that would require glass for the frame. I really love floater frames because the painting is inserted from the front, rather than from the back of the frame, therefore allowing every bit of the painting to show.
