There are certain locations that call you back...and this is one of them. On Friday I made another trip to the sunflower field in Center Moriches where I did the painting posted on Aug. 20 below. Unfortunately Mother Nature didn't exactly cooperate. In the days since my group painted there the sunflowers started really shriveling up. I used some artistic license and made them look
fresher than they were.
This is 8 x 10.
They're still lovely! Two other sketcher blogs I visited today also had sketches of sunflowers. . . it must be that time of year!
ReplyDeleteI like both of these paintings, and can see why you went back.
ReplyDeleteIt really is a beautiful place, Joan, and you paint it beautifully. I do love the rusty auto hiding within so much. Summer is still upon us here with temps in upper 80's and low 90's. Too hot for my taste out there.
ReplyDeleteA great place to go back to Joan. I love this composition and you paint it beautifully every time!
ReplyDeleteThanks Tina, Polly, Sherry, and Celia! Sometimes it is nice to revisit a place. I'll have to go check out how the field (minus the sunflowers) looks in the fall. That truck might look good contrasted with the autumn colors.
ReplyDeleteIn the hands of an artist...anything can be made beautiful and you certainly did this. I love the old truck you included as well. Have a wonderful day.
ReplyDeleteThanks so much, Debbie!
ReplyDeleteHi Joan!
ReplyDeleteSorry I missed some of your last posts! Well , they were all wonderful. Love your beach people! Much fun!
I love your returning to the sunflower field and the beautiful car! The flowers look great! Artistic license never expires! Good job!
