This started out as a challenge for the Daily Paintworks online group that I belong to.  Then I just kept painting away all night/am.  Had so much fun playing with colors and shapes.

Saw these lovely sunflowers at the grocery store and they cried out to me to take them home...after I payed for them :)

This is done on a very heavy plate (5-ply) bristol board.  It was fun to work on.  Hope you enjoy it.  Have a great week.

At present, I have my students working on flowers. I think we will be working on them for a while since we all seem to like flowers. I went to one of our local floral shops and bought of bunch of silk flowers. These really look real and I am sure they will last longer.

This is a painting that I completed from a basket that one of my students, Joanie, had put together. She actually made the basket. I was showing the students how to set up a little still life and how to use a spot light to create an interesting light effect. Enjoy!
