Image description: my watercolour painting of a large number of bright yellow daffodils flowering amongst their green leaves in various stages of opening from bud to full flower. Behind is a blue sky with white clouds - the picture has been turned into a book cover with 'Ten Poems about Daffodils' written in black text in a white square at the top. Next to it is a white rectangle bookmark with a small excerpt of the daffofil painting in a square. Underneath is a brown envelope and behind all is a soft yellow background.

I was so, so happy to have done the artwork for one of the two just-released-today @candlestickpress.bsky.social pamphets - Ten Poems about Daffodils 🙂 The pamphlet is filled with beautiful poems and is available here: www.candlestickpress.co.uk/pamphlet/ten...
