Sunflowers in blue vase

Sunnylady 09 Apr 2020

Sunflowers. Oil on 16 by 20 inch canvas. My second flowers ever. I had a lot of blue residual paint and decided to have this painting. There were some twists on the way and this is fixed painting. I had to redo one flower as it was ugly. Now it is drying. I guess it is not perfect, but I like how bright it is.

You used complementry bluish color,I would say that was a perfect choice. highlights and shodows are very good. Especially the shadow colors are diffrent depend on background color. Superb!

Thank you Jin. When I posted it and look at it on the screen the flowers seem to be like sea star fishes. You know some of them have more than 10 tentacles and if I remember correctly they are called sea lilies. Or even like anemones where little clown fishes live. :)

Van Gogh would be jealous about this one Sunnylady. GREAT painting, so daring and so well thought over and executed!

Love it! Nicely done.

Voy, thanks a lot. I think Van Gogh would be very happy if he lived nowadays with brightness and resistance of paints. Also just imagine if to add acrylics to this crazy mix. :)

Froggie, thank you!
