These three sunflowers had done their job in the house for about two weeks and were beginning to turn foosty when I rescued them from the compost bin, laid them out on a board along with the small purple flowers and painted them direct from life out in the garden with the evening sun going down behind me. A quick pencil sketch to place the elements and then heaps of rich water-colour freely applied.It's the blue elongated shadows that do it for me. Very pleased I am!

Sunflowers in the Sun
