Riverbed Daisies

It's funny how when painting outdoors new subjects pop up unexpectedly. I haven't painted flowers either inside or out, for years. Suddenly I see them everywhere. This month our valley has lovely little clumps of wildflowers everywhere you look. I painted "Poppies" a couple of days ago. Now while wandering down by the Maitai River this morning I was struck by this little posy of daisies among the river stones. I know that some months ago this dry branch of the river was two foot deep in fast flowing water. It will be again in a few months time. But for now these brave seemingly fragile little flowers are tenacious enough to thrive. Like a lovely woman. Delicate, beautiful, but tough. Underestimate them at your peril.
Heh.
