"Sunflower Solo"


Sunflowers are one of my most favorite flowers, especially when it comes to painting them.  There was a lady whom both my husband and I knew from church inspired me to have quite a real liking to sunflowers because she used to wear many articles of sunflowers on herself.  She even loved the color of yellow which she wore  quite often.  For some people to see any or a particular person to have such a love or an obsession of sunflowers or other subjects will consider that as a turn off, but not to me.   As a matter of fact, her love of sunflowers rubbed on to me even to the point of painting pictures of sunflowers.  This painting is a textured painting by using a joint compound pasted to give it more of a three-dimensional effect.  Although I enjoy painting sunflowers, however, the magnolia is still my most favorite flower.
