After looking through seed catalogs and getting interested in sunflowers, I’ve started working on a series of sunflower paintings.
These are all 16″ x 16″, oil on hardboard panels. The sides are 1.5″ deep and the painting continues onto the sides. These paintings can be framed, but they don’t require it–they have a bold, modern look and are ready to hang as they are.
Each painting’s title is the variety of sunflower shown. (I love their names!)
Autumn Beauty
Pacino
Velvet Queen
These are painted in rich jewel tones. Hanging art like this is a great way to bring a dash of vibrant color into an otherwise neutral room, instantly adding an interesting focal point.
I am applying the paint very thickly, and I love the resulting texture. Like all art, these paintings are so much better in person than in photos.

Outstanding! Beautiful!
Hey, I love your work too! Thanks for stopping by my place and I'm adding you to my blogroll right now. Have a good one.
BTW, your work...LOVE the color and textures!
This is a great series for the 16 x 16 hardboards. Wonderful colors and textures. Your body of work really has a unique signature style that remains consistant in all your series. I love the names also!
Funny, my boyfriend and I have been on a sunflower kick recently. (He's decided he wants to plant a whole field of them. Why not, right?)
These are gorgeous! :)
The thick, raised texture reminds me of the style of one of our local artists here at the beach. (Justin Gaffrey)

I also love the texture. Very nice! Reminds me of the sunflowers that were planted in the garden when I was a child, maybe around 7 or 8 years old. Such beautiful, noble flowers.
