Sun Dance

The last dance of summer. So glad I was able to capture them before they were gone.

SOLD

My little sunflowers are still perking right along. They've lasted a long time, bless 'em. They look a bit unkempt, as if their yellow hair has been blowing in the wind.

Sun Daze

SOLD

These small sunflowers are the last holdouts from my Mother's Day bouquet. They're a harbinger of the sunny days ahead.

September Challenge #26

I'm crazy about sunflowers -they're just so cheery!

I asked my husband what he thought this painting should be called.  He suggested "Solar Eclipse." I thought that was a great name for a painting of sunflowers. They do look like little solar eclipses.

September Challenge #22

SOLD

This is a bouquet I brought home from our local market.  After the challenge is over, I'd like to attempt to do a larger floral painting. I think I would need to spend some time on it; I couldn't finish a larger painting in one day. Today is the day I'm going to try to catch up with the challenge. If I can do one more painting this evening, I'll feel better about going into next week.

I wonder how other folks are doing with the challenge. The paintings on Leslie Saeta's blog have been amazing. There are a lot of wonderful artists out there.

09/23/13 Update: So delighted to report that this painting was one of the paintings selected to be a Daily Paintworks Facebook Pick of the Day. This just made my day!

September Challenge #21

SOLD

Day 21 of the 30 day challenge. It was nice to have some time to paint today without feeling so stressed about the time. I did take the morning to do some housekeeping tasks that have been sitting undone for the past week...and, I created a new shadow box using PVC pipe based on Carol Marine's tutorial. I had been using a big cardboard box that finally came crashing down last evening as I was cleaning up after painting. It was a precarious contraption and I should have expected the inevitable.

At any rate, I have a new shadow box now, and I like it! Not so sure about this painting, though. Need to step away from it for awhile.
