There are not more than two thousand daisies in this painting... I actually did not count them either. Mario Airomi even laughed when I counted the folds in the accordion of #0007 "Accordion Player" back in 1970.

This is so beautiful and fresh! Fabulous brush work...it's really fun to use the magnifier on this one....gobs of paint and a dab of red, too! Just so interesting with all the different blues and greens and each flower so loosely painted...just exquisite and delightful! Great work, Mr. Chadwick! l/f
