\"Spring<\/a>

Daffodil in my front garden entryway.<\/p><\/div>\n

I have a number of varieties of White Daffodils growing in my garden but I don’t feel that I ever have enough. Since I am overrun by squirrels I try to focus away from crocus and my beloved tulips. (After all, both my parents were born in Holland!) Squirrels consider the bulbs as an entr\u00e9e and the flowers, if they arrive, as a delectable garnish but they leave my daffodils alone.<\/p>\n

The abundant shade in my garden causes challenges to many of my daffodil plantings but I still crave the color in early spring. One of the fun parts of designing gardens is figuring out how to hide the declining leaves on the daffodils as they absorb the chlorophyll for next year’s growth.<\/p>\n

I’ve been known to hide them using daylilies, Siberian iris and ornamental grasses. I’ve stopped braiding the leaves since it seems so demeaning to their dignity plus is reduces their exposure to sunlight which helps photosynthesis.<\/p>\n

I created a Designer Print from one of these white daffodils. I love the way daffodil leaves have a slight twist to them. One of the things I kept in mind when composing the piece is that the stem is offset where it enters the back of the flower, unlike a tulip which is a straight up vertical.<\/p>\n

Another issue is making sure that I paint the shadows different from when the “light” hits the round stem vs. when it hits a flat leaf.<\/p>\n

You can see this Single White Daffodil on a Black Background is available in my Online Shop<\/a>. in a variety of sizes on canvas, fine art paper, metal and acrylic. I think it has a rather heroic feel to the composition don’t you!<\/p>\n
