Description

Exuberance
*****
Sunflowers are never really still, as the tiniest breeze can cause their heads to bob and wave with sunny, lively energy, and of course they are frequented by animals and insects, as well, keeping them in perpetual motion. I set out to paint this active, life-affiriming energy, not just the flowers themselves. If I feel a particularly strong connection with a photograph I have taken, I am frequently drawn to paint the subject more athn once, and this is the case with "Exuberance". A previous painting, "The Light Arrives" expressed what I wanted at that time, and later I felt the urge to revisit these sunflowers and see what else they had to say.
*****
"Exuberance" is an exploration of color and brushwork, in yellow (of course), gold, brown, rust, orange and shades of violet purple, with green. Three sunflowers expose their faces to the world, to my delight, which I hope I can share. Neither delicate, nor orderly, sunflowers are a wild dance, filling fields in the summer and fall with golden energy, in Colorado and elsewhere
