Golden Harvest
In this watercolor, "Golden Harvest", 16" x 20", I tried to evoke the soft feeling of an early morning sunrise as a backdrop against the daffodils. I decided to paint the window sash as much darker than it really was, to add more drama to the scene, and purposely painted it in a watery, somewhat abstract manner. I had to make up the jar's shadow entirely, since it wasn't actually in my original photo.
It's a bit hard to believe but when I picked these daffodils from my garden one spring and stuck them in a spare mason jar that I had on hand, I didn't notice the writing on the glass jar that gives this painting it's name. It was only later in the fall when I was sketching the jar for my painting that I saw the "golden harvest" raised glass letters and realized that was the perfect title for a jar of daffodils!
If you are interested, here is a video of how I painted Golden Harvest:
