Daffodils

Acrylic, 12×16 on gallery wrap – $215

Throughout history, ancient to modern, daffodils have been associated with many things. 

The connection I prefer is simply as a golden sign of spring. 

In the height of British romanticism, William Wordsworth penned a poem celebrating these blooms and how they lifted his spirits, then and since. I particularly love the images he paints with his words – “… all at once I saw a crowd, A host, of golden daffodils; … fluttering and dancing in the breeze’.

These two, I saw in a sheltered spot near Rockliff Park.
