Country Girls

Daisies are one of the many varieties of wild flowers that grow prolifically near our cottage on the Georgian Bay in Ontario, Canada.  There were several daisies in a vase on our porch during the midday sun that created interesting shadows.  I had painted white water lilies before, but I was intrigued by the difference in the play of light and shadow on these daisies’ petals.  As I looked closer, the center of the daisies hypnotized me and this is what I wanted to capture in “Country Girls”.
