I have had an on going conversation about
VanGogh. So the influence of sunflowers has been overwhelming along with Trader Joe's having them pretty cheap. I have a few things to do or correct and I am happy enough. I want you to know I painted this and scraped it and sat with it several times before I returned to composition and made some changes that felt right. Funny how it can take a while to see. I hate to say it is beginning to be part of my process. I love paint scraped into a pile of "
ish" or mixing it on my palette with out a plan. I think that is what I have been missing "The Plan". I have a tendency to feel my way through a painting. I do my best work when I start clean and lay every thing out. A fresh start so to speak. Nothing left on my palette from the day before and clean brushes is the best. I wish I was ritualistic and everything had its place and at times it actually happens, but not yesterday. So here it is and my ears remain in tack.

Dori, your art has taken a quantum leap forward, congrats!
Hi Dori! In my opinion, this is a very sophisticated still life. The feel of these sunflowers is just so rich. So much texture and dimension in this piece. Gosh you're good!
I agree with Dana - well done!
Such a fabulous piece. I can see the passion.
Lovely brushwork!
