Sunflower Extravaganza

Sunflowers seem to be the hit item this year.

So I suppose, I went a little crazy with them.

I painted this trio at the same time, keeping the palette in similar hues.

They are warmer than my prior sunflowers, which makes it more about autumn with the sun changing and the those last days of warm weather.

I made some on canvas board so that those of you who just want a hint of color or have a smaller space to fill also have a selection to choose from.

Or keep them as a trio.

Or perhaps, just the two smaller panels that you can frame and brighten up a room.

Choices are good.

Audiobooks and Art

I know many artists like to listen to music while they paint but I like to listen to audiobooks. I borrow from the library and its usually great but today I was three quarters through when it expired on me (my fault). When I went back in to borrow it, I had to place a hold. So I'll have to wait a week to find out what happened. Blue Hydrangea 096 oil on canvas board 8" by 8" Click to Buy Whenever I look at a painting I can always remember what book I was listening to. In some ways I self title them that way. This one will always be split into two but I got it finished anyway. Not to advertise but I realize if I don't say it's a cliff hanger - Sara Gruen - At the Water's Edge (interrupted- don't tell me how it ends) Sara Gruen - Water For Elephants

Hydrangeas

It's that time of year! Hydrangeas have bloomed. Sunflowers have bloomed. If you want them all year round, here's the best way to keep them! All are still available!

Painted Daisies

Last Monday I started this painting (I finished it Friday) I had intended to do a serious still life with dark shadows and depth but the daisies were too happy. It became another painting about colour. I guess I've been in a good mood because they've all turned out like it this week. Perhaps, not a bad thing.
