“Daffodils”

Acrylic on canvas 17.5″ x 23.5″ handmade frame. Another still life by dad. When dad did a still life like this, he never just stuffed some flowers into a vase and went to work. He was very specific about placement. And no two still life’s were the same. Some had more of an impressionistic feel, while others had more realism to them. Dad was always concerned of how people would perceive his art because he never did the same thing over and over again. He was always experimenting or choosing different subject matter. Some of this was because dad needed to keep his interest piqued. We had many long conversations into the night about his “eclecticness”, even up until before he passed. But in the last year, we agreed it was a benefit and not a hindrance. “Daffodils” was pretty popular. Dad actually made and sold prints of this way back when.
