'Sunflower Hill' An Original Oil Painting by Claire Beadon Carnell

'Sunflower Hill'

Oil on Canvas Panel

12 x 6

An artist friend of mine told me about a sunflower
field that was blooming, and since it was very close
to where my husband and I used to live when we were
first married, we jumped into the car and headed out to take
 some pictures.  It was a wonderful evening, and so much fun to
see the sunflowers and all of the other places we went to
in our old stomping grounds - lots of memories,
and lots and lots of changes!!!

Day 47

Members of our plein air group (Susquehanna Valley
Plein Air Painters) have spent the last two days
painting the sunflower fields of Ashcombe's Garden
Center. In addition to the beautiful sunflowers,
there were butterflies, bees and goldfinches and even a baby
bunny rabbit that squealed when one of our painters
walked a little too close to where he was hiding.

Day 28

I think that it is funny that every time
I go to paint sunflowers, I want to paint
looser. It's definitely something about the
flower itself, but I also believe that Vincent
Van Gogh has some influence in there as well.
