Settrington Church with daffodil approach. 14x10” oil on canvas board.

After recently making a sketch a return trip needed making, quickly before the SUMPTIOUS, superb daffodils pass over. Today is Easter Saturday. My main aspect with this painting is to capture the essence of the mass planting. It is as if one approaches the church riding on a cloud. All this is the generous hard work of Settrington House which can just be glimpsed through the trees. The approach road is narrow, straight and well maintained verges full of narcissi at this time. I could see signs of anemones and possibly snowdrops though all their flowers have now disappeared. Among the pale cream, even white petals of the pheasants eye, flashes of yellow indicated the odd traditional daffodil.
