Sunday Sunflower Paintings

 Sunflowers Orange and Yellow, 6x6, Oil

Back to painting sunflowers! Love sunflowers. They self-seed each year in my sidewalk garden. The birds and squirrels just love them. The tourist do also, often pausing on the sidewalk to take photos of themselves in front of the garden. Visit my website to view more floral paintings. SpohnStudio.com


Sunflowers- In the Pink, 6x6, Oil
 
This is a different take on the magical seed heads for sunflowers. Often times the seeds form colored spirals, this time I took the liberty to fantasize them a bit with bold colors. A joyful, happy painting.
