The Daffodil's Whisper
Today, I had the privilege of completing this oil painting at the Adelaide Art Society, where my peers offered invaluable guidance and support. I struggled with the background, which felt "flat," and was unsure of my next steps. With their input, I found direction and returned home with a finished painting I'm proud of. I'm truly grateful for their help.
Just before updating my blog, I asked an "AI" what the Daffodil's Whisper might say.... and this is its reply: "The Daffodil's whisper might say, "In stillness, I bloom—carrying the promise of spring, a quiet hope that endures even in solitude." It speaks of resilience and renewal, a soft reminder of life's cycles and the beauty found in simplicity, echoing the introspective mood of your painting.

Plum Duet
In this alla prima painting, I aimed to capture the simple elegance of two ripe plums. The serene, contemplative mood reflects how I felt while painting those little beauties.
