Description
When artists paint, some have trouble with the blank canvas. It is the getting started that is hard. Even with inspiration, the way to begin is often intangible. This painting was no different. Several false starts, lots of texture, layers of color, and finally letting go of what is right and what might be wrong. Instinct takes over. Van Gogh's sunflowers, now famous, may have begun in a similar manner, at least I like to think so.
The original painting was created on a gallery canvas with plenty of thick texture, loose brush work, and artist quality acrylic paint which helps express the free form of these iconic blooms.

Love how you used the background circular texture, color and light to frame the flowers. The sunflowers are magnificent! Love this painting, Nancy! l/f

I aspire to gain more looseness in my paintings, so I really appreciate your technique in this one. The background color is so nice, it offsets the floral area beautifully.
