Mixed media daffodils

I'm creating a drawing a day, just for the art of it. I could say something about daffodils but why would I? When it's been said by Wordsworth.


Wordsworth
 I wandered lonely as a Cloud
I wandered lonely as a Cloud
That floats on high o'er vales and Hills,
When all at once I saw a crowd,
A host, of golden Daffodils;
Beside the Lake, beneath the trees,
Fluttering and dancing in the breeze.
Continuous as the stars that shine
And twinkle on the milky way,
They stretched in never-ending line
Along the margin of a bay:
Ten thousand saw I at a glance,
Tossing their heads in sprightly dance.
The waves beside them danced; but they
Out-did the sparkling waves in glee:-
A Poet could not but be gay
In such a jocund company:
I gazed---and gazed---but little thought
What wealth the show to me had brought:
For oft when on my couch I lie
In vacant or in pensive mood,
They flash upon that inward eye
Which is the bliss of solitude,
And then my heart with pleasure fills,
And dances with the Daffodils.

Sorrento, Australia

I'm creating a drawing a day, just for the art of it. Today's is Sorrento Back beach (the surf beach side) if I win the lottery I'm going straight back here! #drawingadayclub #kirsteenlyonsartThis is Sorrento in the mornington peninsula, Melbourne. Near Jasmine's grand parents house. It has two beaches. A sheltered beach bay side, and a surf beach on the side of the sea. The town is full of surf shops and tamed windswept people who call their flip flops "thongs".

Comino, Malta

This is the island of Comino, off the coast of Malta. There are no shops or houses, just rocks and beach. You take a picnic and a boat drops you for the day. When I went I lost a sandal in the med, of the front of the boat. A big wave just sucked it right off my foot which was hanging off the side of the boat. but I didn't need it all day. #drawingadayclub

Abu Dhabi, escape British February!

This is Abu Dhabi. It's so so so hot you think your standing in the blast from a jet engine the whole day long! I got a real fright when a fish nibbled my foot! Those foot spas you get...I was not paid up or ready, and I nearly jumped clean out of two meters of water warmer than your last sauna! I'm thinking of doing a whole set of beaches I wish I was back at instead of in Britain in February! #drawingadayclub #kirsteenlyons #kirsteenlyonsart
