It’s that time of year again for the flower fields to be in full bloom. In this post I’m showcasing the fields of blooming daffodils. My next post will revisit the tulip fields in bloom similar to last years visit to Tulip Town. The flower fields are located in the Skagit Valley just west of Mt. Vernon, Washington (north of Seattle). Skagit Valley is a fertile farming valley that typically has field upon field in full bloom with daffodils and a few weeks later tulips this time of year. A few weeks back, we had a sunny day (after numerous days of rain), so my wife and I decided to take advantage of the sunshine by visiting the valley to see the daffodils in full bloom. These fields bloom before the tulip fields, so we also made a return trip a few weeks later to catch the tulips. We weren’t disappointed with the beauty of fields of daffodils in full bloom and many other fields just starting to bloom. In all candor with or without the blooms, the valley is beautiful all by itself. I have attached five captures from our time there. Enjoy!!

It is truly breathtaking to see these colorful fields as far as the eye can see.

Thoughts? As I have said before, everyone reacts to visual art techniques and looks differently, so I am not in the least offended by opinions.

I have shared a number of my prints where I used a Fauvism technique. Today I am sharing two more from my architecture gallery. They both highlight the bright and somewhat surreal boldness of this technique, but in slightly different ways.

The first one I’m sharing is called Sitting Room. This highlights the abstract shapes and bold colors so typical of the fauvism style. The subject matter is a simple room with a desk and furniture for lounging or talking.

The second one is a much more simplistic subject, an arched wooden garden door leading from a patio to the yard. The shapes are not as abstract as the prior print, but the bold surreal colors make a statement.
