These first daffodils greeted me by the front porch this morning, blooming abundantly! Normally one or two will open up first on the cellar or under the windmill, before these. What a sunny surprise it was to find a while bouquet - so I HAD to paint them! This is a journal i bought at a local shop right before the holidays, and I am just getting to know it. The cotton paper is very soft, and rather resistant to my watercolors. So, I must load the brush a little heavier and use a bit more water, to work into that sizing on the page. The leather cover is lovely, with leaves on a branch adorning it. My plan is to use this journal for my nature studies and lovelies in my garden. Who knows where the pages will lead me? Painting number 5122 in 5122 days.
