Daisies and Queen Ann's Lace is a 1890 graphite by Marietta Minnigerode Andrews, a Impressionism work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This painting shows a simple vase of daisies and Queen Ann’s lace. The flowers are bright yellow with white petals, some still fresh and others wilting. The stems and leaves are painted in soft green, and the background is a plain, light color. The artist used loose brushstrokes to capture the flowers’ natural look. The watercolor technique keeps the colors light and fresh, almost like sunlight on petals. Next, look up watercolor to see how artists use layers and transparency to create light.
