Sunflower Painting | Flower Painting | Daily Painting | Small Oil Painting | "Happy Days, SOLD, by Carol Schiff | 8x10x.75" Oil

Summer is in full swing, so it seems like the perfect time for a sunflower painting.

SOLD

I always wanted to grow some in my yard, but I think in Florida our planting season would be different than most sunflower states.  This year, I need to plan ahead and try to buy some seeds in February and give them a try.

There are plenty of sunflowers in the mountains.  In fact, the one in my reference photo was from western North Carolina smack in the middle of the Smoky Mountains.  Next time I go up there, I will  do some sunflower research!

Thank you for visiting my blog today.

Small Floral Still Life, "Tulips and Sunflower" 8x6"

It may not feel like it where you live, but winter is on it's last legs and soon spring flowers will be bursting out of the ground.  Tulips are one of those flowers that mean spring to me.

$90 + 6.50

Living in Florida, most of the tulips I see these days are in the florist shop.  Some years, I get lucky, and visit North Carolina when they are blooming.

These came from the grocery store.  Lately, I have been coming home with more flowers than food which tends to upset my husband.   I tell him flowers are edible, but he is not impressed with my knowledge.

Tulips are so elegant.  They remind me of ballet dancers with their graceful poses.  Like most things so beautiful, they don't last as long as I would like.

Daily Painting, Sunflower Painting, 6x12" SOLD

I wanted to squeeze in one more sunflower painting before the trees are bare and the snow starts to fly.

SOLD

This tall sunflower is not as perky as he once was, but I had lots of fun with the format and my trusty palette knife.

I don't always plan to use a palette knife, some paintings just demand it.  This is one of those.  It was one of those paintings that was just fun to do, one that left me relaxed and happy.

I wish I could say, they all have that effect on me.  Does painting always make you happy, or do you sometimes end up drained, with tense shoulders and neck?

Let's hear it for the happy ones!

Floral, Still Life, Sunflower, Daily Painting, Oil, SOLD

A couple of years ago, I spent a wonderful week at Seven Devils, North Carolina with my group of art buddies, Pieces of Eight.  Cindy, who hosted us that year, proved once again to be the perfect hostess.  She had many art related activities planned for us.   We toured museums, galleries and several artist's  studios.  I didn't get much painting done, but I made up for it with plenty of inspiration from my photos.

SOLD

I photographed this sunflower at Grandfather Vineyard, and painted from it in my comfortable studio.  I hope someday I get to the point of knowing what a painting will look like before I start it.  I am not there now.  I started this with something completely different in mind, but I am happy with the results.

I enjoy doing works with plenty of texture.  I think it brings an additional quality to the piece and I like the way viewers want to reach out and touch it.

Are you able to choreograph where you want your painting to go, or are you flying by the seat of your pants like me?
