Italian Sunflowers

Italian Sunflowers, 18x24 acrylic on canvas
All right, was a very busy weekend with 2 birthdays parties, one Sat. and one Sun. And with my daughter and her 3 girls spending the night Sat. night.

But I did manage to finish the Sunflowers. At least I'm going to declare them finished because if I keep mucking about I'm liable to ruin them.

Besides I'm getting the itch to try them in watercolor.....


In the meantime I've added some of my photographs to items in my Zazzle shop.

    It's beautiful. I agree with you about backing off and declaring it finished.

    Italian Sunflowers...they turned out stunning against that gorgeous blue blue sky!!
    Now I can't remember why Italian but I'm guessing either you travelled there and took a pic of the sunflowers or you planted Italian Sunflower Seeds, which of the two is it?

    And can't help wonder what you do with watercolors.... interesting thought. Love your paintings.
