Blown Away Sunflower Bouquet was a fun painting that hopped onto the canvas as if it had been waiting for months to arrive. In fact, it had! I took a series of sunflower photos on my back deck last summer, and the inspiration for this new painting is on my art blog for you. What a perfect day it was, nice contrast-y type shadows, nice bouncy lights, good color. All those good ingredients to get the artistic juices flowing. Perhaps it was just the need for some warm yellows, since we just concluded the longest and coldest winter storm in almost 80 years here in Big D. A friend of mine from Canada told me to stop all the fussing, this weather was just a chilly puff to them. But I'm not complaining, I'm celebrating! Wherever you are, stay warm and keep blooming!
