You don’t often see Mandarins with their leaves attached for sale, so when it happens, it is worth buying them to paint and perhaps adding them to some Spring flowers to make a Still life. They certainly bring a bit of colour into our lives. We seem to have lost the recent sunshine and even had a snow shower this morning.
I didn’t realize when I bought them that the daffodils were an ‘exotic’ variety. They were in tight bud so it was difficult to distinguish them from any other kind of daffodil. It was a bit of a surprise when they opened and presented an unexpected challenge.
