Sunflowers

I've finally finished my sunflower painting for Mother.  Hope she likes it. Once it's dry I'll find a nice frame for it & present it to her.  This painting has been awhile in the process.  It definitely posed more problems than previous paintings.  Color is a bit off in the final photo.  The shadow definitely isn't so turquoise - it's much more subtle.  Below are steps 1 through finish.

Assemblage - Cow in 'Puter Hills

This past Saturday I took a side trip off the super highway - one of those interesting little roads called "assemblage".  It was a great workshop. There were seven of us.  First order of the day was to visit the local thrift shop & look for interesting "stuff" for our assemblage.  Karen (our instructor) had several bins of additional "stuff" back at her studio that we could use for our creations.  Below are a few photos of my finished masterpiece!
