Luminous One

 I decided it was time to paint more bright and cheery Sunflowers. Another flower that peps up these short winter days. I love the colors in this painting.
My husband, Glenn, said it looked like the flower was gazing into the sunset.
Maybe it is? Whatever you want it to be works for me as long as it brings warmth into your world.

Sunflower Joy

My husband, Glenn and I, recently returned from a wonderful vacation in Oregon, where we had a chance to visit family and friends. It was such a delightful respite given the extremely warm weather, combined with many inviting lakes, streams, and swimming pools.
Living here on the Mendocino Coast, it's rare to get a warm enough Summer day to even want to go swimming! Another great surprise was seeing so many lively, bright sunflowers. Some of the most beautiful ones lived in the Community Garden in Springfield. I took a ton of photos knowing I wouldn't have time to paint while I was there. Now that I'm home I've gotten busy creating sunflower paintings and hope to continue along this trend for awhile. They're so much fun to play around with given their whimsical character. Hope you like them!

Sunflower Surprise

This has to be one of the most exciting paintings I've ever created. It was based on a variety of hand-made papers being glued to the canvas, with the grid painting glazed on top. Next was the joy ride---applying the delicate lines of the sunflower with acrylic inks and a nib pen, along with a variety of other pointy tools. This process transformed the combined layers into a transparent wonderland. Happy, bright, and welcoming. Wouldn't this be a show stopper and fun conversation piece to grace your wall?
