Tuscany Red Sunflower Series V
Pastel 12 x 16 without mat - Red Sunflower
Canson Mi-Teintes
copyright 2010 PO'Shields
My Inspiration: Sunflowers on the back roads of Tuscany. I came across a fields of Red and Mahogany Sunflowers and could not resist sketching one right on the spot. The petals are very velvety.
When visiting Tuscany each year I paint Sunflowers, Lavender and Olive Trees. Each Tuscan Sunflower is different with it's own personality, thus I usually sketch en plein air
the one that jumps out at me.
There is nothing more beautiful than the Tuscan fields of golden sunflowers surrounding a golden rustic house with a terra cotta roof. These are views that I use in large paintings, but for the sketching en plein air there is always one sunflower among the many that calls out to be drawn. I will be posting over the next few weeks series of these plein air sketches.
