All in a row and yet each single daffodil seeming to be ‘looking’ here, there and somewhere else – one almost hidden behind another.  The yellowness of the flowers is delightfully set against their rich orange trumpets.  For artists, these colours can be used almost straight from the tube of Cadmiums – yellow deep, mid, light, lemon, and then oranges and reds all with such powerful properties.  It is quite unusual in figurative painting if the aim is to represent natural life to use such pure vibrant colours.  They are gaiety itself.
