Cymru postcard

This week the destination is just over our border in Wales... A place we spend a lot of time due to my parents living there part of the time.

So the choice was simple for me ... I remember drawing daffodils for a competition in primary school and doing well at it so decided to try again. As most of my art has not progressed from primary skill level I did drop into the library and used a book on sketching and painting flowers and saw a rough sketch for some daffodils which I thought I could muster.

So this is a sketch carried out on my lunch break at work, and then painted with water colour tonight. Enjoy!
Once again sorry for the terrible pics... My camera on my phone is shot at! Hopefully not too many months to wait till I can upgrade.

    Lovely sketch of daffodils. Perhaps you will write the story under the postcard. I love reading them particularly when such hard work has gone into them.

    I really like the sketch here. Gosh it looks so simple and I bet was NOT simple to do. It's just so lovely. *smiles* Norma

    The sketch looks wonderful!
    I just type what I wrote on the back of my card under the photo. I think my writing is readable enough, but it's not really an effort and easy for my visitors. :)
    Although, this might be a perfect way to keep us all on our toes, guessing around what's happening here... :)

    I get such a happy feeling when I see daffodils...especially since it reminds me of Spring. Aloha.
