Me, again

Cropped image This is a still life painting of sunflowers from an image found in Google. Practicing Ginger Cook's techniques and colors. As prep, made a dark ground in burnt sienna, indian yellow and blues. No blacks. White underpainting for the petals and vase. I just love how the leaves turned out. Kinda ducky yellow for the petals. Something's off. An orangey look for the petals all over and some highlights. Added the seed pods now. Taken with an iPad Pro, hence the vivid colors! I'm done!

Starry, starry night Flaming flowers that brightly blaze An #ArtSherpa Tutorial translated into a black tote bag. Thanks  +Cinnamon Cooney  ! Added below is the Lyrics to the famous song by Don McLean, one of my favorites, about Vincent Van Gogh, another favorite of mine. "Vincent (Starry, Starry Night)" Starry, starry night Paint your palette blue and gray Look out on a summer's day With eyes that know the darkness in my soul Shadows on the hills Sketch the trees and the daffodils Catch the breeze and the winter chills In colors on the snowy linen land Now I understand What you tried to say to me And how you suffered for your sanity And how you tried to set them free They would not listen, they did not know how Perhaps they'll listen now Starry, starry night Flaming flowers that brightly blaze Swirling clouds in...
