Some more daffodils, on the gestural side of things...
But this post is more about my daughter, who, after drawing her version of the bouquet, offered to sketch a portrait of me drawing the flowers. Significantly, that image seems to me to be the first "true" portrait of someone drawn from observation -- a real-life sketch rather than a caricature or drawing from the imagination. It shows in the ways she has been attentive to posture, angles, and details, even my upward glance towards the petals that were above my eye level, in an attempt to draw what she sees, and not what she thinks she sees.
