I was fortunate to paint giant sunflowers on location this year. I have been painting them in my dreams ever since. I was looking for patterns, shapes and movement in this landscape. Using a palette to introduce texture and color in the sky is what I imagined.

Gold Impressions

14x11 oil on linen

This is the 2nd painting I worked on when visiting the Ennis area. We were fortunate find sunflowers, even if they were the smaller ones. I turned my easel around and found a new view. Plein air painting in a field of sunflowers makes my heart sing.

You may wonder how I can do two paintings in one setting. I come prepared with paints premixed and ready to go. I usually tone my canvas with a warm color. I use a palette knife to spread the paint around quickly. The design and paint goes on in a spontaneous approach. I don’t get too fussy with details and I work fast. This is what make plein air painting an exciting process.

Hot Summer Sunflowers

6x6 oil on gallery wrapped canvas

My sunflowers are the only thing blooming around here and make the perfect models. Oven like temperatures make painting in the studio a great option. Setting up a still life with light streaming in made this stain glass vase glow. My sunflowers sure brighten the day.

I created this from a still life set up in my garden. My garden flowers just keep giving me more ideas to paint. Using acrylic paint, this has layers of color applied with both the palette knife and brushes.I finished it up by eating the sweet peaches.

From the Garden

14x11 oil on gallery wrapped canvas

Taking the time to plant a garden and reap the benefits are one of my pleasures in life. This is from a photo I took last year when my sunflowers and larkspurs were blooming. I loved the birds eye view of the blue vase against the round stool it was setting on.

A Field of Sunshine

16x20 oil on gallery wrapped canvas

I continue to explore the brilliant sunflower fields.  It has given me a chance to push shapes and color. I wanted to portray this in a softer color palette.
