Four Sunflowers

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

That’s it! I’m done! :) Although it took a little longer than I had planned, I did find the abstract shapes pretty easily and the colours were delightful to work with – I’ll have to do some more with this palette.

My next painting will a cool secluded forest and I get to start it tomorrow – yay Canada Day! :) And then after that it’s on to a commission.

    Any chance you might make prints of this? I need to keep dancing!

    Mandy — it’s beyond-words beautiful!

    Happy sigh …

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

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

    Thanks Shaun! I still need to varnish it, but I will be sending it along shortly. :)

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

    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. :)

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