Description
Sunflowers are so full of life and movement, they seem to be dancing. When I had the good fortune to be invited to the local Art In The Garden Party, in which numerous local artist participate in plein air painting in a gorgeous Denver garden,I couldn't resist the sunflowers, in their disordered glory, dancing through the garden. Maybe it is heliotropism that makes them seem to dance, or maybe the way their heads bob, stems sway and faces seem so animated, not so much beautiful as full of life and sturdy.....
*****
It was a hot, dry, day, and plein air painting proved to be exceptionally challenging, with the paint seeming to dry on the brush long before reaching the paper. This can really be a problem with watercolor, since the dry paint creates hard edges lacking the coveted flow the medium usually offers.
*****
I decided to go with a stylized effect, and extra bright colors, and here is the result. Enjoy!
