Painting a Day – Sunflower fall

SOLD

Ah, the treasures of fall. First persimmons and now these. Fruit and flowers are in abundance everywhere I look and I want to paint them all. This little pastel is 4″ x 4″ and was so much fun to do – especially the velvety dark centers.

   Hi Karen! I’ve been “away from my desk” since August and not really keeping up. Your art is fantastic! I can see progress since August! And how cool that
   you are putting stuff up on e-bay. I will definitely be bidding on something that comes up! Thanks for being such an inspiration. I haven’t put anything
   up on my blog for months, but I have been doing at least a little art. Thanks for still being out there and doing it! Jennafer

   Teri, I’m not offering everything for sale, but many, yes. An eBay store’s coming where older paintings will be available, and prints of those I don’t want to let go. Friends have been giving me encouraging nudges, so it felt like time to dive in …

   This piece just knocks my socks off Karen! (And in this lovely cooler weather I was actually wearing socks!) Perhaps it’s the pastels, or the fact that you
   practically got inside these glorious sunflowers. The bold warm colors set off by the cooler dark green background really make this 4×4 pop! Well done!

   I like your mix on the centers – I can see several colors that make them look alive.
