Daffodils

5.5x8 watercolor of fresh spring daffodils painted yesterday while in the mountains of New Mexico.  The bottom leaves are negatively painted by first applying a light value wash, letting dry, then using darker values, paint around stems and leaf shapes.  This was a challenge on WetCanvas.com for the Weekend Drawing Event.
