...and so far, I hadn't painted any sunflowers. Well, in my world you paint sunflowers in Summer--it is just something you do. I am grateful that my friend Nancy lulled me out of the complacency of forgetting to paint sunflowers and brought me some when she came for dinner a couple of days ago. This is a note card painting, so it is small, but I kind of like it. I am not thrilled with how I did the "signature/logo" in the lower right, and will give that a little more thought. It seems to work with this composition, though. There were actually five sunflowers, but I focused on my favorite three. This was kind of fun, and I loved going with a darker value background. Thanks, Nancy. I needed to paint those sunflowers! I'm not limited to just one sunflower painting in the season, but at least I did one.
I think Eileen usually does one each summer too. These are great!
ReplyDeleteI was very happy with doing the dark background. As you know, sometimes that is hard to do in watercolor, but I like what I did.
ReplyDeleteLovely sunflowers, Carolyn! and they will last forever, like our friendship.
