I always loved daisies, it is just a perfect simple flower. I wanted to paint daisies with small little birds and i came up with this image. The birds are happy to be with the daisies, joyful. It is a picninc outside and the bouquet of daisies sits on the checkered tablecloth. Maybe one of the bird is wondering "loves me, loves me not?"
While i was living in Hawaii, everytime i was going to the beach, i was amazed to see all those little cute puppies running around on the sand and jumping into the sea. Some were swimming, some were on surfboards. So funny. I wanted to watched them forever! The funniest of them all was, for me, the Golden Retriever puppy. You just want to hold them and cuddle. That is why i painted this image. It is like a postcard of that moment. Happy puppy on the beach.
This painting took me a long time because i was always unsatisfied with the flowers, the background color, the composition. It took me at least 1 year. I kept returning back to it and finally i was happy with the result. It is a really busy composition, almost a becoming a pattern. http://www.etsy.com/listing/97457715/original-fine-art-print-floral-flower?nc=1
