I can't think of any flower that is happier than the sunflower. They always make me smile. I've been in the mood to paint them lately. They are harder to paint well than one might think. I've seen lots of paintings of them over the years. I need to keep practicing to get them right. It's all about the light, with flowers. I've been doing some small ones over the last couple of weeks and now I'm ready to tackle a larger Sunflower painting.

Tip of the Day 

To avoid problems and make better decisions, use this checklist BEFORE you make a purchase.

  • Decide in advance exactheir experience. Gather information about the seller and the item or service you are purchasing.
  • Review product test results and other information from consumer experts.
  • Get advice and price quotes from several sellers.
  • Make sure that the seller has all appropriate licenses. Doctors, lawyers, contractors and other service providers must register with a state or local licensing agency.
  • Check out a company's complaint record with your local consumer affairs office and Better Business Bureau.
  • Get a written copy of guarantees and warranties. Compare their features.
  • Get the seller's refund, return and cancellation policies.
  • Ask whom to contact if you have a question or problem.
  • Read and understand any contract or legal document you are asked to sign. Make sure there are no blank spaces. Insist that any extras you are promised be put in writing.
  • Consider paying by credit card. If you have a problem, you can dispute a charge made on your credit card.
  • Don't buy on impulse or under pressure. This includes donating to charity.

These classes are designed for students who have some experience in painting. They are in a casual fun atmosphere and not at all intimidating.

 

My Thursday morning classes are designed to increase your knowledge in design and composing, values, and in working with various color palettes. We do many studies to increase our skills for painting. These classes are in four week sessions on a particular theme.

It is a casual class with positive useful critiques and suggestions on composing, color and values, brushwork or anything you need help with.
