Sunflowers-Viridian Leaves

A small group of us gathered for years in the garret studio of a fellow artist and it was way up here that I imagined myself as the sun and tried to capture how the sunflowers were so happily reaching toward the sunlight from the darkness beneath their beautiful viridian leaves.  I used transparent watercolors on 300 lb Arches acid-free paper.  Sadly, this image does not show the brilliance of the original painting, especially the intense violets and bright blue cobalt.  The painting sold immediately to a Collector.

A small group of us gathered for years in the garret studio of a fellow artist and it was way up here that I imagined myself as the sun and tried to capture how the sunflowers were so happily reaching toward the sunlight from the darkness beneath their beautiful viridian leaves. I used transparent watercolors on a full sheet of 300 lb Arches acid-free paper. Sadly, this image does not show the brilliance of the original painting, especially the intense violets and bright cobalt blue. The painting sold immediately to a Collector.
