Beauty in Sunflowers
Yesterday I had the most wonderful morning painting “en plein air” at Oxbow Farm. There is the most beautiful field of sunflowers there that just needed to be painted. I tried to take step by step photos to share today of one of the paintings that I did. When I work outside I can usually get a painting about 85-90% finished and then after a day or two of letting the paint “rest” I will complete it in the studio.
I call this “Oxbow Sunflowers 1“. It is an oil on canvas measuring 9″x12” and is available framed for $275.
Being outside and painting sunflowers was such a treat after painting all the ball parks I have been doing the last few months. It was a nice break.
