A bunch of daffodils

One bunch of daffodils can provide inspiration for many sketches!

First, the whole bunch...

Dreaming of Spring

This has been the longest winter ever, or at least it feels that way!  We seemed to jump from spring last year straight to autumn and winter, no summer at all, which is incredibly depressing.  Now it's February and thoughts turn again to spring and daffodils.
