Sunflowers Outside-#24 Dora Sislian Themelis

Sunflowers Outside, 11x14 Watercolor, Lanaquarelle paper
I painted these wonderful sunflowers, from my farm share last week, which I photographed. I've been pushing myself to paint from photos rather than from life. It's probably good to be able to paint both ways. It's a challenge anyway.

    Thank you all! I've come up against some resistance lately and this is my breakaway painting.

    Hurrah, this is delightful and it's so nice to see this vibrant creation -- especially as a break-away from resistance!
