I painted this in response to a challenge on wetcanvas. Since I couldn't find a good reference, I took my own hat, bought some Gerbera Daisies in a pot (since I couldn't get what I wanted already cut), and cut the two I wanted to tuck into the hat band. Then I posed the hat all over my deck, on this chair and that, with different backgrounds, and this was my favorite!

By the way, this painting was featured on the cover of the April/May issue of The Connection Magazine, Bernards - Ridge Edition.
