When all at once I saw a crowd,
A host, of golden daffodils;
……………………………………
Ten thousand saw I at a glance,
Tossing their heads in sprightly dance.
……………………………………
And then my heart with pleasure fills,
And dances with the daffodils.
Wordsworth, “I Wandered Lonely as a Cloud” (3-4, 11-12, 23-24)
Members of the Nature Artists’ Guild are invited to join their fellow artists at the Daffodil Glade of The Morton Arboretum for a paint-out on the morning of Friday, April 19, 2024 from 9:30 to noon. (Note – paint-out was postponed from April 17 due to weather concerns. Participants do not need to re-register.)
The Arboretum’s latest Bloom Report shows the daffodils thriving, accompanied by their little blue dance partners, Siberian squill. Add some sunshine (hopefully), and coffee and homemade scones provided by Paint-Out Chair and accomplished baker Celia Rodee, and members might just be tempted to ‘dance with the daffodils’.
Nature Artists’ Guild members and their guests are invited to stop by the glade any time between 9:30 and noon, but registration (by clicking here) or emailing Celia is strongly recommended in order to receive details and updates by email.
