"I loved these sunny yellows, and cool greens and
blues. It is a challenge to paint with yellows,
because the pigments blend so easily with others,
making shadow colors the hardest to capture.

In the Gold Country, daffodils bloom
everywhere! They are found on almost every
homestead. Daffodils are cheery harbingers of
spring, opening when soil temperatures begin to
warm. In March, I like to visit Daffodil Hill, a
place up in Volcano, where 400,000 bulbs of every
variety blossom from March 15th, through
mid-April. On a sunny day, the colors sparkle
with brilliance, lifting the spirits, reminding us
that every winter is followed by rebirth and
renewal."
