15x 11"
Arches rough 140LB paper.
M.Grahams paints.
I had a bit of fun with salt in the background of this.
I was undecided about whether I wanted a dark background, so that the daffodils would stand out, or a pale blue background to give the feeling of a warm spring sky.
I painted the blue in to test it, and I did quite like the airy feeling that this gave the scene, but it still needed some "ooomph", so I decided to use purple around the edges, because this is yellows complimentary colour.
While it was still wet, I sprinkled in some salt to give it some texture and interest.
If I still didn`t like it I was going to paint the background very dark, but I`ve decided to leave it as it is.
It is nice and bright and eye catching.
