Still Life with Sunflowers
9x12 oil on panel
I worked on this for a day, trying to convince myself that I could still paint. Wiping out at least three times. I was losing the battle. The next morning I couldn't wait to get to the studio and throw it in the trash but when I got there I found it wasn't as bad as I thought, or worth rescuing or at least not admitting defeat. I changed the base from wood-tone to light and moved the lower flower closer to the pitcher. I continued working until suddenly the painting told me it was finished. I won, its ok but I still won't buy it a frame.
