Flower Art Friday

To the Daisy,
The poet's darling 
~ William Wordsworth


There is a flower, a little flower
with silver crest and golden eye,
That welcomes every changing hour
and weathers every sky.
~ James Montgomery



Daisies infinite, uplift in praise their little growing hands
O'er every hill that under heaven expands.
~ Ebenezer Elliott

 Not worlds on worlds, in phalanx deep
Need we to prove a God is here;
The daisy, fresh from nature's sleep,
Tells of His hand in lines as clear.
~ John Mason Good

Thanks to those who voted for my entry last week that put me in the Top 3.
Such a delight to link up each week with so many talented "Floral" artists that inspire me to learn new techniques and willingly share their knowledge and links to resources.

  5. The daisies I have outside my sunroom window are
    "weeds," but they, indeed, look like tiny daisies. I think they are beautiful so I keep them there. For you to highlight these common beauties delights my soul and the accompanying poetry? a true bonus from a "pairing" artist supreme.

    Thanks, Dear Andrea Dawn

  10. That first photo practically leaps out of my computer screen, it is so vibrant. What a great shot. You've elevated the humble daisy to the place of honour it deserves. Your artful treatment of the last picture gives it a very pleasing watercolour effect.
