Description
I try to paint daisies at least once every summer. They are happy flowers. It was a good time to start my floral series as there were no clouds in sight for at least a few days into the future. Flowers and clouds are much the same anyway. They are simple gifts from nature.
Daisies are actually an invasive species native to Europe but they are here to stay. They arrived like the Mayflower and prospered. One might as well enjoy them rather than fight them.
Daisies are all through our lawn and on the marble ridges. I do not discourage them so they continue to spread - linked together in a series. There are enough flowers to weave miles of flowers into daisy chains which was the intent when the phrase that comprises the title was first used as a noun in 1841.
The meaning of a daisy chain was enhanced to describe a daisy chain of toddlers with the Baby Boom after the end of the Second World War. I was part of a daisy chain in those years. After the computer age that followed soon after the Baby Boom, the meaning of a daisy chain was modified yet again to describe an interconnection of computer devices in a series with one after another. A computer daisy chain is the equivalent of a series electrical circuit. I saw these flowers as another kind of series but connected through their roots and the soil. English is a living language and it spreads just like these flowers.
William Blake once wrote that in order "To see a world in a grain of sand And a heaven in a wild flower, Hold infinity in the palm of your hand And eternity in an hour." I feel the same way when I paint these little canvases of tiny things that many people do not even see. They may be little but are oh so powerful. We need to be better stewards of the land. Enjoy nature but leave it better than how you found it.

You brighten my day like these little daisies Sunny. The flowers come alive in plein air. I continue to paint up a COIVD storm but in a good way - turning a negative into a positive if I can.
