| Big and Bold (Sunflower) |
I used to paint flowers all the time, especially in the winter. I think they were an antidote to the grey skies we get here and they were always cheering. In the last few years I have done fewer flowers, so each time I do one it is almost like starting over. I think each different subject an artist tackles needs a different mind set and technique. Or, like this piece, a different approach depending on the mood, the surface and the ultimate goal.
"Big and Bold" is acrylic on a 5 x 7 gallery wrap canvas.
Only one more day to go!
My goldfinches are lined up at the window wanting to,get a taste of this guy. I love,these sunflowers and like the mini series you have going with flowers. I agree,with yiurou that flowers have their own technique.
