Daisies remind me of being a little girl and sitting on the grass in the summer with my friends as we talked about what boys we liked at the time. We would take the daisies and pluck off the petals one at a time and say "he loves me" for one petal, and then the next petal would be "he loves me not" and pull all the petals off one by one and see what the last one was, always hoping it would be "he loves me". Of course if we didn't' get the answer we wanted, we would start over with a new daisy! While working on this painting, I began to wonder if the boys ever did this with flowers? or just us silly girls! I'm almost sure they didn't. While the girls were sitting in the grass daydreaming, I'm sure the boys were off doing fun things like baseball, climbing trees, catching frogs and bugs and not thinking about silly girls and their flower predictions!
Have a wonderful weekend

Love the daisies. It's a sign of summer. Your paintings catch the whimsy I feel when I see daisies. Glad you're finding time to paint! Nan
