Inspired by these beautiful sunflowers and the lovely blues of Hydrangea. This painting whilst fun to paint also had it's challenges. The sun flowers look easy to paint but looks can be deceiving. It is there bold simplicity that I was attempting to catch without them looking to under or over worked. I feel I achieved effect I was after. The hydrangeas not only provide a complimentary blue , they also act as scaffolding to support the heavy sun flower blooms. Tricks of the trade, Hmm perhaps that's a better title.
Painted on stretched canvas, this painting is unframed
