Sunflower on Red 5x5 inch oil
I'm committed to my series on Sunflowers and am learning more and more about using the palette knife. I'm also learning to quit sooner than a do. I often leave the studio vowing to give up painting altogether given the "mess" I've made on the canvas, but am almost always surprised to walk in the next morning with a fresh eye and find that what looked disastrous the night before is actually quite exciting. It's the "just let me add one more stroke" that leads me to reworking the whole thing, and in doing that I often end up with something more generic looking. Luckily, that didn't happen with this piece! Current auction bid is $40.
