Blue Jug and Sunflowers

Duo

An expressive rendition of two sunflowers done in acrylic on a textured surface. 

Four Sunflowers

 

This painting was taken from a photo I took of some sunflowers I grew over a decade ago. The canvas was prepared with an application of paint left on the palette at the end of a previous session thereby giving a lot of texture to the painting.

Sunflower Trio

Over a decade ago, I had a prolific flower bed or at least the sunflowers were plentiful.  I did several still life set-ups and photographed them for future use.  Several of them have already been painted and posted and now it is this one's turn.  The painting has several layers of paint as I experimented with a few backdrops and finally settled on this rather traditional one which has some similarity to the original set-up.  The painting has been varnished for further enhancement and protection.

I have a few larger pieces that I still need to photo so I can post them soon.  Thanks for looking and for being patient as I work my way through the various paintings.

Mason Jar Flowers

This painting came about in two ways.  The flowers in a mason jar, table top and background came from a photo that I took while eating at a very nice café called Ike and Jane's.  I felt it needed something to balance it to the left and my imagination added the plate and apple.

Life intervened but I'm back in the studio still working on pushing my efforts to be more expressive.

Sunflower Quartet

The "Art Girls", at our critique on Friday night, said to make some changes and I did.  Here's the result which I like much better.

Sunflowers on the Blue Chest

I met with the "art girls" last night and they approved this experiment with my working toward abstraction.  I will post another that they agreed with me, needed to be pushed further.  Thanks for looking.

I am now able to walk on the broken foot but only with a boot but that feels wonderful.

Sunflowers and Apples - #1

This painting is from a photo of some very large sunflowers that a friend sent to me; I, in turn, place them in a tablescape.  I am working on learning how I want to paint various flowers.  So, for now, I will be working on the sunflower.

Again, more sunflowers painted from a photograph I took of some that I grew years ago.

Back to Back Sunflowers

I want to work on pushing my artwork to a more stylized, abstract rendering.  I also want to do this with flowers and so you will be seeing a few paintings of sunflowers done until I am more satisfied.  Thanks for looking.
