For Painting Party Friday , here's the watercolor I made this week at my painting class. I've been painting for a little over one year and still have alot to learn, but enjoying it all the same. We bring items to paint to class so I am always running about before class to find something. LOL. The daffodils are from our garden, the blue vase is a vintage find and the striped runner was ripped off our kitchen table. The vase is just the right height to fit daffodils and I love the color combination of yellow and blue. We have many varieties of daffodils in our garden from bright yellow, to peach, to white and my husbands favorite, where the cups are yellow-green trimmed with red-orange. I've included some current garden shots to share with you too.
Hope you are enjoying your Springtime, where ever you are.
Always, gerri

Very beautiful garden, it is a great source of inspiration I am sure. Your daffodils are lovely, such a pretty shade. Seems to be a theme in itself this week as I have seen many daffodil paintings.
