I had a lot of fun the other day playing around with techniques. I had done a painting of sunflowers and wanted to jazz it up a bit. I think the splatter turned out well. It's different than what I normally do and was refreshing to paint. 

Golden Field

"Golden Field"

5"x7" Original Watercolor And Pen On Paper

I drive past this field all year round. In spring it is full of new growth and wildflowers. In summer it gradually becomes one of the grandest displays of sunflowers I have ever seen! I drove past the other day in the dreary dark weather we've been having and wished there would have been these golden flowers bobbing their heads in the summer sunshine. Right now the field is full of soggy hay bales and those just weren't as inspiring to paint.

Wishing You Sunny Skies!

HAPPY NEW YEAR! 

ok...so I'm a few days late...

But how about some bright sunny sunflowers to start 2014 off right? I love sunflowers, love driving past fields of them in the golden summer afternoon light with the windows down. Summer just flows through the whole car. It's the simple things in life. 

 This month, don't forget to swing by Forest Hills Fine Art Center in Grand Rapids to see my show, "Simple Roots." The theme is all things farm, from tractors to sunflower fields. An appreciation for the simple things in life. Seeing a theme yet?

If you'd like to come on a night when I'll be around come for the reception on Thursday, January 16th from 6-7pm. I'd love to meet you!
