Spring Is in the Air

I just love the intense yellows of daffodils! I used both cad and lemon yellow for these. I like the bit of Permanent Rose in the background. Yup...that's the way I like it. And here's some music I love. I mean look at those brass players!

A old fine poem to go with your new fine art:

The Daffodils
by William Wordsworth
1800s English Poet
(When a gay poet was a happy poet;
how English changes over time,
and painting styles too.)

I wandered lonely as a cloud
that floats on high o'er vales and hills,
when all at once I saw a crowd,
a host, of golden daffodils;
beside the lake, beneath the trees,
fluttering and dancing in the breeze.

Continuous as the stars that shine
and twinkle on the Milky Way,
they stretched in never-ending line
along the margin of a bay:
ten thousand saw I at a glance,
tossing their heads in sprightly dance.

The waves beside them danced, but they
out-did the sparkling waves in glee:
a Poet could not but be gay,
in such a jocund company:
I gazed—and gazed—but little thought
what wealth the show to me had brought:

For oft, when on my couch I lie
in vacant or in pensive mood,
they flash upon that inward eye
which is the bliss of solitude;
and then my heart with pleasure fills,
and dances with the daffodils.
