Sunflowers on Gold

 

Sunflowers are a showy late autumn flower with stiff petals and thick stems.  They are almost sculptural.   This is a nearly monochromatic subject with a lot of middle value and just a touch of dark and a little bit of light.  This one will be in my studio for the upcoming Vashon Island Artist Studio Tour happening the first two weekends of December.
