Description
Sunflower Study painted 31/05 & 01/06 2013. Sunflowers (Helianthus annuus) are incredibly popular, particularly as a subject for artists and photographers.There is so much to sunflowers, the huge, unkempt, fiery yellow petals, complimented by the intricate patterns of the seeds and the spiky buds. There is even a mathematical formula for the complex arrangement of the seed head. What most people think of as the flower is actually a flower head consisting of many individual flowers, each producing a seed. They are a real work of art! Maybe that's why they are so popular. I've tried to capture it all here, without overcomplicating the painting. I painted this with the intention of entering it in a contest. I noticed that a lot of the other entries were Van Gogh influenced paintings. I tried to get away from that and stick to my own style. I was pretty pleased with it even though it didn't come anywhere in the contest, it does seem to attract views and nice comments.
