"Amarillo Sunflowers"

oil 18.5" x 22"  1990's

A still life I executed in my home studio.  I used the sunflowers from my garden.  My thought on arranging this still life was to keep it simple.  I had been painting a lot of still life works at the time which were really full of subjects and I was longing to do something completely opposite.  I can see why so many painters choose sunflowers.  Their full faces and drooping leaves are perfect for working with oil paint.    D.ita
