From Wordsworth's Daffodile Garden in Grasmere in England's lake District
What could be more thrilling to paint on this spot only a few steps away from Wordsworth's tomb and right beside a slate stone engraved with the last stanza from his famous poem about daffodils
" 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"
" 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"
From Windermere, Lake District in England!
My first ever plein air painting painted just a few steps away from Ivy Bank B & B where we stayed during our three day trip to England's Lake District. A quintessential English street in Windermere early in the morning with cloudy sky
