"You are my sunshine" Daffodil Commission

I'm getting into the studio earlier today as I have to go out later this afternoon

It is for a small rock with Daffodils and Jean also wants "You are my sunshine" painted on the rock, too. Jean is a returning customer that I painted a little owl and a "Gone Fishing" rock for last year.

Last year, I painted similar rocks with sunflowers. This will be the first time I've ever painted Daffodils, so this will be a new learning experience for me. I like pushing myself to do new things, and I'd really like to become proficient at painting all kinds of flowers in the future. Last week, I ordered a book on painting flowers and it should be here sometime this week. I'm going to go ahead and try my hand without the book, and see how I do.

Here is the rock I have chosen for this project. I have already smoothed it out with wood putty and am waiting for it to dry before I sand it. I will paint a streaky blue/white sky color as the base coat.
