This was an unusual sunflower to paint - it is just before full opening, the petals are starting to peel back as it comes into full bloom. To paint it was again that tricky dance with values.
There is something exhilarating about painting – the whole creative process, the learnings and the discoveries, and always – the challenges. I started painting in watercolour when the children were leaving home. A few years later, my artist mother suggested oils, and it has become a passion. I share my journey with this blog as I stretch myself with the exhuberant intention of painting daily.
