Facing the Sun 16x20 oil on gallery wrapped canvas

I was fortunate to paint at a field of giant sunflowers recently. I have been painting them in my dreams every 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.

Smile for Miles

Smile for Miles 11x14

Seeing fields of these happy sunflowers brings a smile to my face. A small group of artist joined me to take advantage of this wonderful opportunity. The winds were strong with clouds moving quickly. The dust storm brought in a interesting light.  The sunflowers were still glowing for miles.

14x11 on gallery wrapped canvas

I tried a different approach with this painting. I wanted to keep the background colorful and loose. I found the contrasting colors of the larkspur and sunflowers eye stopping. I applied the paint with a palette knife, creating the texture I was going for.

Painting on location in Granbury on the Brazos River.  This is actually in a "neighbor hood" with homes along this beautiful river.  I have friends that live here and love to get outside as much as I do.  I tried to keep my colors cool to reflect the cloudy day.  It was a challenge for me!
