Halloween with pumpkins ! I love pumpkins. their thick orange skin's so tempting. it looks like a smiling round ball too. can't recalled when i paint this. Probably a few months back.

finally
evening's sun
tada... and finally !! the actual painting is much bigger, just that it can't fit my scanner. Will take a pic of it on a sunny day and post it up.
I was inspired by the warm and rich african colors i saw in uma's deco and decided to use them as my background. chrome orange, mango yellow, burnt sienna with a tinge of vermillion. I allowed em' to bleed and soak thru'. was trying out clement's technique- to let the colors rebel instead of controling them. well, it was disastrous. i was upset. very. (the backgd was screaming at the flowers and i lacked the technique)
so now we have prussian blue and dirty brown (it's below u can't see em' here) for it's background instead. of all the mendings done, this came thru'. thx god my sunflowers could be save ! (i actually prayed ;p )

the middle sunflower wd do good with a stalk leaning down to the right. but ah, i can't undo dark colors. btw, shouldn't they be sleeping by evening?

sunflowers
a
One fine day, I jst felt like painting sunflowers. So brought me 2 petals for rm10 on fri. they dried up on the next evening - of thrist. the owner went out the whole day (children's conference in church) and forgot to add water. ophs. did this in 3 sittings. wouldn't need that long but was coughing and finding it hard to concentrate. did it mostly @ nite. would prefer the morning or evening lights though - i missed em' in bed.
a
still haven't decide on the background color. sky blue? textured pale yellow? or earth tones?
a
p.s - check out other sunflower works done in fairy-land and dimensions.

Painted this for my mom's b'day. belated. I didn't characterise this piece just for her. I had plum flowers in mind though. But somehow the final picture spelt her out. Strong colors infused with warmness. That's her...
