Double Daisies
Friday, July 15th, 2022
Double Daisies, 18H x 24W inches soft pastels on paper. I look forward to these blooming every year. They’re planted as a group only in one area of the property so they can be fully appreciated. They wilt in the hot sun, but in a cool morning breeze they shake like pom-poms, waving in and out of their own shadows.
