Yellow and Orange Felt Daffodil on black canvas

8.5 x 11 inches, acrylic paint and felt with hand embroidery on black canvas paper.  This vibrant mixed-media artwork by Canadian artist Kathy Poitras features a large, stylized daffodil crafted from felt and hand embroidery, set against a turquoise circular backdrop. The daffodil’s yellow petals and orange center are richly textured, bringing warmth and dimension to the composition. Surrounding the central bloom are long green stems and leaves, painted with expressive strokes that complement the softness of the stitched flower.
At the base, a cluster of small white and pink daisies with yellow centers adds a gentle contrast, while the solid black background makes the colors pop with dramatic clarity. The combination of fiber art and acrylic painting creates a striking fusion of texture, color, and emotional resonance — a celebration of spring, renewal, and handcrafted beauty.
