Daffodil paintings are presented here as a kind of "blast from the past". I had a comment recently from a fellow artist congratulating me on these new works. Actually, these paintings were done in 2005 and no longer in my possession...at least in the material sense. The feelings I have when I look out into the yard to see these glowing clusters surfaced again this week. While I enjoy this work from nearly a decade ago, I understand that this work can no longer be repeated. My work has evolved. I have evolved. I can appreciate them but celebrate the self-examination and changing process that has occurred in my artistic endeavor. The work of a lifetime is very much like a diary.
I am different now. But I still get a charge out of early morning daffodils.
