Crazy Sunflower

The sunflower painting shown is one of several still life paintings I have done at White Wagon Farm located near Maumelle, Arkansas. White Wagon is a plant nursery and art studio that reflects the interests of the owners Pat and Kathy. On the first Tuesday of each month our painting group paints still life paintings. This one is titled....I Love Your Hair. It will be shown in a group show at Searcy, Arkansas in April and May. If you are anywhere near come and see the show.

Sunflowers by Tommy

Every one likes to paint sunflowers. The painting shown here is my take on sunflower painting using a lot of color, large shapes and a strong background color. Give it a try. Bring the major shapes forward to cover the picture plane, paint the background in a strong complementary color and crop the painting to give the imagination a chance to fill in what ever it would like to see.

Sunflowers I want to paint

Here is a painting I have been trying to decide how I want to paint in watercolor or acrylic. Any suggestions?

I did finally get around to painting this one in acrylic. Not the one you see here but one I painted using this painting as a compositional guide.
