Forest Daisies

Linda Callaghan

Forest Daisies

A mixed medium painting of stunning white acrylic daisies on a watercolour background, some ink. The watercolours were allowed to run into each other creating their own shapes then the subject and details were painted on top. Can you imagine stumbling across these daisies amongst a magical forest with hints of light filtering through the trees.

Size: ll” x 5” (28cm x 12cm) painted on 300 gsm arches watercolour paper.

Beautiful daisies so pretty to view
one of a kind, this is true.
Spreading petals reach for the sky
faces smiling a delight to the eye.
Come, please pick a few
they are here just waiting for you.

  • Colin Cartwright

    Colin Cartwright

    There’s a great variety in all the floral paintings I see. I like the bold white, standing out from the shadow and finely-coloured, textured background. Gives a depth to the image.
    And on qualitiy Arches paper!

  • Linda Callaghan replied

    thank you Colin for taking the time to comment appreciate your feedback, yes Arches paper but I did not have much Arches paper so thus the smaller size :) I think I am leaning more towards acrylics now as the colours are bolder, thanks again Colin :)

    Hi Linda – well now it is my turn to pay you compliments! This is FANTASTIC! Lovely technique with a mixture of mediums my dear. I cannot paint flowers! They hate me! They hide from me and they wilt when they look at me and they beg me to leave them alone!!!

  • Linda Callaghan replied

    thank you so very much Lynda…don’t believe that for a minute with your outstanding art I am sure you can paint a little flower :-) re: pastels do you recommend any brand in particular? I believe they are messy to work with but may have a go.
