Penny’s Daffodils

"In the contemplation of Nature we are perpetually renewed, our sense of mystery and our imagination is kept alive, and rightly understood, it gives us the power to project into a plastic medium some universal or abstract vision of beauty." - Barbara Hepworth, 1936

I spent many mornings looking out this window, drinking my tea, and eating toast.

Penny left us these beautiful daffodils that she bought from the honor system stand/kiosk/tiny structure that is on the way to St. Just.  I don’t know how daffodils are blooming this time of year.  I finally drew them while everyone was sleeping New Years morning.
