This little painting is part of a series of paintings of sunflowers. After visiting the Vincent Van Gogh exhibit at the Denver Art Museum, I thought it might be interesting to try my own sunflowers. I was disappointed not to see Van Gogh’s rendition, but have always loved his famous painting and decided to give the flowers a try. I used Wallis sanded paper as the ground and a mix of soft pastels. This painting is matted and framed, ready for hanging on a small wall or in a larger grouping.

This little painting is another of a series of paintings done from an early spring photo with leafless trees. I have had great fun envisioning this location in spring and summer regalia! This painting has a larger tree and more wildflowers blanketing the foreground.  I used Wallis sanded paper as the ground and a mix of soft pastels. It is matted and framed ready for a small place on your wall or in a larger grouping.

 PRIVATE COLLECTION

This little painting, and several others similar to it, grew out of a photo of bare trees in spring. I loved the tree skeletons and the shape of the meadows, so I started "seeing" them with leaves and flowers. It has been a very creative and humbling experience to flesh out these wonderful scenes. It has a 5"x7"companion piece called "May Flowers" which will be my next post.
