This is another ATC (2.5 x 3.5) done for my exchange on WetCanvas. I liked the image of the sunflower when I took the photo, not quite opened. It was so different from any sunflower painting I had seen.
BEAUTIFUL JOB! I love how you captured this just as it was 'about' to open -- there's such a sense of promise in it before it's fully opened! High winds here ...
I have always participated in the visual arts including watercolors, drawing and sketching, pen and ink, and photography. Since retiring from teaching I have devoted much of my time to watercolors, sometimes combining them with pen and ink or collage.
Watercolor is the perfect medium to capture the beauty that surrounds us. I love to travel, and sketch and paint wherever I go. Painting, especially on location, captures the spirit and life of the subject. I hope to continue doing that for a long time to come.

mARTa - Thanks. I used to feel the same way. I think I've pushed myself past that point now.
Lin - Thanks so much. I really liked this reference because it was so different.
Nice work and different.
