Painting - Oil On Canvas
Description
This is number four of a planned trilogy of florist sunflower-inspired paintings - that turned into a quartet. The stems could no longer support the blooms. The sunflowers turned to look for their roots. These flowers would be composted for the garden to nourish the next generation of sunflowers and paintings.
Life is not always about the showy and bright flowers. The subtle, darker web of the twisted stems and leaves also supports the vortex of life as we all turn toward the light… like the sunflower in real life. I was concentrating on connecting the dark to the light with big brushes and strokes of energy.
Brush size really determines the size of the pixel elements. And that needs to be consistent across the painting.

Thanks Sunny. I like working with older oils too. The aging pigments are rich in chroma and texture... and a lot of fun too.
