Flowers - Daisies

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.
