sunflowers against a wall
Sunflowers make me smile. They exude happiness and are a sunny celebration of summer. I just recently returned from a road trip through the central valley of California, where we drove past miles and miles of bright, cheery sunflower fields. They were all in bloom and spectacular. With August being my month (a Leo), it seems fitting to dedicate a painting series to the showy sunflower.
Throughout the month of August, I’ll celebrate sunflowers with a wide range of blog posts. I have a tutorial planned with an easy way to create sunflower stencils. I’ll be painting sunflowers in various sizes and media and showing some photos of the “guts” of those paintings and some of my unusual “paint brushes”. I’ll write a little about some famous artists who have painted sunflowers, going beyond van Gogh. I’ll discuss their healing energies, and even some of my own trials and tribulations in growing them.
I hope you’ll check back throughout the month and join me on this happy sunflower-filled journey.
Here are the first two sunflower paintings I’ve already completed:
