Hilltop Daisies

 It was a late afternoon when my husband and I hiked a trail in the Portland area and near the summit we happened upon an amazing field of daisies. I took a couple reference photos (but wished I had taken more!) and continued on the trail. I have painted the scene a couple other times, but in pastel. Here we are two years later and I'm still thinking about the magic of that hilltop meadow! Today I let the happy acrylic colors fall off my paintbrush to come up with this version of my memory.
