I just love my grape hyacinths. My next door neighbor gave these to me, and I just love the intense blue-violet color. These are spreading quite a bit, so I may have to thin them down. I would love to capture these blooms in a watercolor. Windsor Newtons' Windsor Violet would be the main color I would use. It would be a difficult painting to do, that's for sure! Lots of detail here!
The daffodils on the right are in a new perennial bed I made last year. I like these daffodils better than the solid yellow ones that are more commonly seen. I like the subtle color and shadings in these flowers, and consequently these would be a better subject for a painting. With all the springtime chores and activites waiting for me, it will probably be a while before I can work more on my Quebec City painting. That can be a blessing, for when I go back to it, I will look at it with fresh eyes.
Nice to know that it's sitting in my studio waiting for me!
