Unruly oil painting of sunflowers in green vase

Unruly  6" x 6" Oil on wood  SOLD

These sunflowers aren't the kind that cooperate.  They grow among ivy and weeds along busy Cleveland roadsides. You can put them in a pretty vase, but they'll still look ravaged and unruly.

  3. I've been away for a few days and just now catching up. You have been posting some fabulous paintings that I missed!

    Love the ranunculus, the new white pitcher, the oranges and white flowers. Wonderful job on these sunflowers, too. The green and yellows are gorgeous!

  11. Really love your composition! There are so few colors but the painting is so alive . . . the sunflowers don't look ravaged but do seem to have a mind of their own.
    Stunning painting! Really like your lilies, too.
