Sunflowers

I guess everyone gets the desire to do sunflowers at one time or another.  I had put these in my favorite blue lock top jar and found I must try to paint this.  I wish it had been looser but maybe next time.

Here is an in progress photo with my $45 easel from a local antique store.

  1. Looks great, Susan! I love sunflowers, and I'm sure I'll end up painting some. They always make a great subject for paintings, I think, esp. with blue.

    Way to go scoring the easel, too :).

  2. Thanks Sonya. Blue is the color to have with these flowers, it really makes an eye catching combination.

    That's a "Treasures by Therese" find there in Durango. It was buried in the back. Woo Hoo, always love a bargain!

  6. Hi Stephanie, Thanks for the nice comment. It's amazing how near complimentary colors can give a painting pizazz.
