"High Life Daffodils", St Marys, Isles of Scilly

This characteristic Scillonian landscape view of a daffodil field was painted in watercolour with some pastel, and the original painting was 27 1/2 inches tall x 9 3/4 inches wide.

Painted in the late Spring of 2004, in fields to the north east of St Marys, these are some of the last daffodils to flower. The earliest are sometimes picked in very late August but most are picked by hand in all weathers during Autumn and Winter. Our mild climate enables the local farmers to grow these flowers before those on the mainland and get better prices at the early markets. Painting this spectacular field of daffodils called “High Life” felt like being at the foot of a river of flowers, with a wave about to break over me.

Full size print image 26 ¼ tall x 9 ½ inches wide (approx).
Half size print image 15 ¾ tall x 5 ½ inches wide (approx).
