Twilight Sunflowers

Whenever I come upon a field full of sunflowers, it absolutely takes my breath away.  Traveling the backroads of Missouri, these beauties were turning their heads toward the fading sun.  I had to paint it.  This is one that I did a small color study of on sight, to paint larger when I had the luxury of time. I rarely do this, but with so little light left I simply had no other option.  The result is a painting that sings of the twilight moments I spent on the roadside, capturing the fleeting beauty of sunflowers in bloom.  Painting number 3087 in 3087 days.  This one now showing at Music Art Love Gallery in Sainte Genevieve, Missouri.

Red Rockers on the Porch

I love the nostalgia of rockers on a front porch, especially at a gorgeous historic inn like this one!  Main Street Inn has always been an inn, dating back to the early days of Sainte Genevieve.  What's even better is when someone brings an historic place back to life, restoring it and bringing it to glory.  Such a place must be painted!  Mom and I enjoyed our stay here last September, and we will all be enjoying many other stays here, as it is the very best B and B I've ever stayed in. Lovely place to spend some time. Painting number 3085 in 3085 days.  This painting opens tomorrow night at Music Art Love Gallery in Sainte Genevieve, Missouri.  Meet and Greet from 5:00 to 9:00 during the Fourth Friday Art Walk!
