Sunflowers in Watercolor

Here's where I am now on the sunflower painting.


HI! John brought me sunflowers this weekend. He knows I love them and saw them in the store so he brought them to me. That was so nice. They really make me smile, the happy brightness of them. So I did a pour of watercolor, the watercolor ink, and then the next day I drew them while sitting on the back porch.  I've been working on them each day this week. I started to paint the background and am going to do more on the flowers too.Yesterday I decided to go with checkerboard. I love to paint the squares. These are 1 inch. I've even considered just adding a few more for a more checkers for an  abstract look and stopping. What do you think??

 What are you painting now?

Sadie, our lab, just let out a loud bark, she has been watching Mike in the nursery today. She would love to go play with him but I won't let her out of the yard , too much traffic on the road.

  1. Not sure where/how/Mike/nursery fits into your life (I don't think I've heard you mention before), but Sadie sounds like she loves the idea.

    I love this painting, Diana. Really beautiful piece!

  2. I love when you show stages of your painting progress. The sunflowers are lovely. This must be the year for them because I see them everywhere. They make the landscape indoors and out much more cheerier.
