I was lulled into thinking Spring was here but today's cold front proved different. I retreated into the studio and painted this sunny rendition of a sunflower to brighten my day. I hope it brightens yours as well! This transparent watercolor is 8x10 on Arches paper.

Sunflower Power - reworked watercolor

15x22 now a vibrant floral in comparison to the vertical figure it was of my neighbor Jan. I don't have an image of the BEFORE version. I'd applied gouache to that one to try and improve it with no luck. Notice the negative brushwork in the bottom here and the abstracted background.
