sketching daffodils in Fitzroy Gardens

Saturday was a very Spring-like day in Melbourne, with sun shining with warmth and blue skies. I walked through the Fitzroy Gardens in Melbourne,looking for ducks to sketch, but they were not there as their pond was being drained. I easily found another source of inspiration in the Gardens in the form of daffodils!

Below are photos I remembered to take as a work in progress.

I sketched the city skyline and the daffodils.

    How de-lovely Alissa … I remember painting a single yellow daffodil in full bloom with the word SPRING! in a vertical text alignment next to it. Used it as my architectural workstation back wall art for 3-4 years.

    Your cheerful sketch reminded me of that lovely memory. I think most of us react similarly to the sight of daffodils, to a memory linked to daffodils of another time. Sounds like a plot device!

    Cheers
