Bold Sunflowers 23

Hi! I hope you are having a great week! Sunflowers are one of my favorite flowers and one that I really want to master at painting. I've taken on line painting lessons as well as following along with dvd tutorials from several of my favorite artists and I think so far that I'm really enjoying Gary Jenkins style of painting Sunflowers the most.

Today I have a 11" x 14" gesso painted canvas art board to share featuring sunflowers inspired by Gary Jenkins Sunflowers video tutorial:

Gary makes it so easy so fun and easy to learn how to paint. He paints with such charisma and enthusiasm you just want to pick up a brush and give it a try!

I'm joining along with Paint Party Friday:

I hope you have enjoyed my painting as much as I enjoyed creating it :)
Thanks so much for stopping by!
Be Sweet ;)
