Daffodil Fields--Original American Landscape Painting

The Skagit Valley of Washington State has a yearly Tulip Festival that draws people from all over the area to the fields of tulips, but another festival worth mentioning is the Puyallup Valley Daffodil Festival in Pierce County of Washington State. The Daffodil Festival began in 1933 as a tribute to the flower industry. Sumner, Washington in the Puyallup Valley is home to numerous daffodil fields. Bulbs flourish in the damp, rich soil that resulted from the last eruption of Mount Rainier, a dormant volcano south of the valley. This 8x10 inch oil painting celebrates the golden beauty of the daffodil fields of the Puyallup Valley.
