Lone Star Sunflowers and Purple Hydrangeas
by Nancy Medina
36X36
Oil on Gallery Wrap Canvas


Lone Star Sunflowers is a work based on photographs taken last summer on Main Street in Fredericksburg, Texas. I reworked this painting from July 2009 this week and I'm much happier with the warmer yellows.

I was inspired to paint Lone Star when I spotted this large clay pot with a large Texas star on the side. It was originally full of pansies, but the stately old pot seemed to call out for some additional occupants. What says Texas summer better than giant yellow sunflowers?

The Old Mill Study, Barbara Haviland

By
  #mill,#water,#building,#11x14,#BarbaraHavilandFineArt.com This painting was part of a study.  We had the photo and I painted it then watched the demo. I always do that.  I like to change my painting up a bit. It is painted on a hardboard panel that has canvas adhered to it.  I have used this method for years. I don't care for the spring of a stretched canvas.  Thanks for viewing my art ~~Barbara Available  GALLERY INFO Barbara Haviland Fine Art 1579 County Road 1010 Woodville, Texas 75979 409-332-0141 Website
