Scraggeley Sunflower

Day 1 of Scraggly Sunflower

Scraggeley, I kind of like this word, I kind of like miss-spelling it too.  Maybe even put two "L"s in it as well.  Anyway today's effort was working on this flower painting of a flower photo I took at Elaine's neighbor's garden only, it seems, a short while ago.  I'm trying to create a large group of flower paintings for a spring show.  As winter approaches, this cheerful effort is getting even more cheerful :) or cheery.  I started this painting using only fully transparent oils, not exactly in the Dreama technique but somewhat like it.  I do like the effect so far.
