It's the Small Things in Life!

Sometimes I like the containment and the compactness of working on a small painting. Like this one. It is a tiny 4" x 6" which was inspired by a photo of Key Largo. Then, I get a desire to free up my wings and do something more expansive. So I think I now wanna do more of my sunny sunflowers. I need to think spring. I must feel spring. This wintery weather is taking its toll. Sigh. I can't wait until I can pack up my watercolors and get outside to paint. I guess if I really, really wanted to, I could do that now. But it might be just a tad nippy.

Van gogh was the first of course who comes to mind for showing how expressive sunflowers can be. And while I am so not totally comparing my work to his, I am going to run with his technique of allowing these perky subjects to dance a little for me and come to life. It should be fun and I'll let you know how it all goes. Maybe. :)

May your spirit be light and airy. One Love and Peace from the QuirkyArtiste!
