Sunflower Bouquet

20" x 24" image, 26" x 30" framed

Oil on linen

Includes a 3" European style gold leaf wood frame.

I was teaching privately in my Portland home when 'Sunflower Bouquet' was created from a still life.

I love the bold intense colors of sunflowers

and the fact that they hold up the best for still life studies.

The heavy textures in the petals made this composition come to life.

I thought it was worthy of the ornate gold frame,

which is substantial and finishes it with traditional importance.
