Pussy Willows are always a favorite of mine. And though I FELT like painting daffodils today what I HAD was pussy willows! I love them because they last, literally, for years. And because they are soft, like little kitties! And I know I told you this before, but when I was a child and we were not allowed to have pets in our apartment, I collected these, took them off the stems, named them, and took them everywhere with me. They were the perfect pets, really. Never had to feed them, walk them, they were quiet and very amenable.
Also, they bloom around the time of year that my Dad passed away. So I think of him when I look at them.
I loved layering the acrylics here. I want to tell everyone that when you switch mediums, say from watercolor to oil, or to acrylic - give it a while so you get the hang of how they 'act'. Don't dismiss them immediately. I struggled to get acrylics to do what I want - for such a long time. And even now every once in a while. But then they'll do something wonderful and surprising that you hadn't expected, and there you go. Your own little miracle.
I hope you all are getting a little Spring...
