Sunflowers and Blue 16x12

Set up a still life today. I bought some flowers yesterday at Trader Joe's and realized I will be out painting Saturday and they might not look so hot on Sunday. So it was today or never. I got half way through painting with a brush and picked up my palette knife and went crazy. It was lots of fun and gave me a feeling of great power. Loved spreading the paint and laying it on the canvas. I spread and I scraped and I pushed and pulled. Very therapeutic and a wonderful way to start the weekend. Enjoy!
This painting is a whole lot more subdued than it appears here...hummmmmm

Love the slight off-centered placement and the thick, richness of the paint. Wonderful painting!
