Thanks Margaret! That is high praise! I was hoping I had kept the sunflower-ness while still playing with patterns and colours.

You finished it while I was away on vacation! When I was in Germany I saw a small sunflower field and instantly thought about your painting and wondered if it was finished. Wow ! I love it and think it’s actually better than the real thing. That’s high praise coming form someone who loves flowers.

Thanks Matt! Ooh scary! I used to paint in oils, but the ability to create hard-edged shapes and change my mind every 5 minutes or so led me to acrylics. And I’ve never tried pastel – I imagine they require quite a different approach.

Excellently done. I think you’ve inspired me to try acrylics!

Thanks Steph! I love sunflowers too – I’m starting to see why van Gogh painted them so often!

Thanks Kathleen! I do want to make prints – it will probably take me a week or 2 – - it’s not my favourite part
