Distance: 8 blocks and teach
Inspired by Wordsworth's beautiful poem, and looking for some cheer on a grey, blowy, wet day, I went searching for some lovely paintings of 'Daffodils' by well known artists. These are the only two I found.
1. Here's Vincent Van Gogh:
Vincent van Gogh, Bowl with Daffodils, (1886) Oil on Cardboard on Panel
2. Lucien Freud doesn't portray his daffodil in an uplifting manner either:
Lucien Freud Woman with a Daffodil (1945) Oil/Canvas (at MoMa)
That's it from the internet. For some reason artists don't/didn't seem to get inspired by daffodils. Wonder why?
Anyway my real daffodils still bring MuCh cheer around here.
