Winter Bouquet 2

This plein air painting includes paper-white narcissus, hellebores, boxwood ...this is the second of two paintings I did of the same winter bouquet. The paintings came from an early morning dream of taking my full bloom paperwhite narcissus outside to cut them and arrange them in a vase... I think the dream came from the desire to have something hopeful to celebrate. I placed them on the rock right outside the backdoor. The flower petals froze and became translucent.
