I was visiting Dad three days later and entered the garden to sketch flowers. The garden holds very much Mum's choice of plants. I sketched the daisies, trying to grasp a stylised version of them, rather than be slavishly true to their construction. It is difficult, though I've seen many artists render daisies very simply and effectively - you know that you're looking at daisies!
I surrounded them with thick lines, throwing the off white petals into relief. I think it's a throwback from creating linocuts :) I experimented with a little watercolour.
Flowers will form a frame around Mum and me, claustrophobic, symbolic.
