Golden Sun Flowers

 

I never get tired of painting sun flowers.  There is something about them that keeps me coming back.  Perhaps it is that they have been the subject of so many great artists before me.  I totally "get" their attraction to the subject, great shapes, great colors, great meaning to people.  Here is my latest sun flower painting entitled Golden Sun Flowers 24x18 oil.

 

 

Sun Flowers and Oranges

 

Some subjects practically paint themselves and the subject is so commonly beloved and related to that you can set yourself free of the details.  It is very fun to cut loose and a still life such as this.  Please let me know what you think of this 20x16 oil.

Sunflowers in Blue Pot

Jennifer's birthday flowers inspired the latest still-life. I love the colors of nature and all of the abstract areas withing the overall painting. Look closely and it is like a thousand small abstracts. The move has helped me to shake things up as well as go back to my roots and hold close the things that matter. When I am painting the only worry is the painting itself everything else dissappears.
