Sunflowers WIP 1

Sunflowers – 18 x 24 – Acrylic on Wood – Reserved for Mayberry Fine Art

I love sunflowers. In this painting the flowers are writhing like flames.  I love the sinuous motion of the petals and leaves. Maybe I will think of a better title that involves fire in some way.  And I love the palette I’m using – all the cadmiums are complemented beautifully by cobalt green. It has such a lovely blue cast to it, the contrast between it and the oranges is just delightful. :)

    Can’t wait to see how this progresses. I just finished a sunflower painting for my friend so the colours and petal flow are fresh in my mind.
