Two Daisies by Maree Clarkson

Two Daisies by

Acrylic on primed canvas panel – 9″ × 12″

Bright flowers, whose home is everywhere
Bold in maternal nature’s care
And all the long year through the heir
Of joy and sorrow,
Methinks that there abides in thee
Some concord with humanity,
Given to no other flower I see
The forest through.

William Wordsworth, To the Daisy

Some left-over paint from my palette, which formed the back-ground, and I was off on a new adventure again! Two daisies from my garden (Tarlton, Gauteng, South Africa) in a blue bottle on my Kitchen table

About Maree Clarkson

I am a watercolorist living on my little piece of African soil in Tarlton, Gauteng, South Africa. The inspiration for my art is the wonderfully rich variety of Fauna and Flora to be found throughout this beautiful country.

    Maree, hierdie is besonders mooi. Ek is gek oor die kleure wat jy gebruik het. Die skakerings van blou en bruin wat jy hier gebruik het is uitsonderlik.
    Jy is so geseënd. Fantastiese werk deur ’n baie talentvolle JY.

  • Oooeee Olitto! Watter wonderlike woorde! Ek kan dit sommer op my profielblad plak! Nou’s my dag sommer gemaak! Baie dankie vir jou sielvolle insig en opmerking!

    Nou wat bly daar nou oor vir my om te sê?!!! Pragtige werk, mal oor die agtergrond ook!

  • Jis Liz, so bly jy hou daarvan, was nie seker oor die hele ding nie. Alweer oorskietverf (op die agtergrond) en toe ’n besluit om iets bo-oor te doen. Baie dankie vir jou pragtige kommentaar!

    I feel strongly that this is not your usual Medium, I guess now having read your description my eye caught well the difference from what I had expected that way.
    Nicely Composed and the Color Combination is Warm and Cool which makes for a Warm feeling altogether
    Thank you for adding this to the group Maree
    SHOW US YOUR BLOOPERS

  • Spot on Jason! Acrylics is a bit of a challenge for me, and my next adventure will be oils! Thank you very much for accepting it into the group!
