#63 / Sunflowers
These cheery flowers are
everywhere now adding an extra splash of colour to the Provencal landscape and
I feel it is my duty to have a bash at painting them.
I don’t know what it is
about Cadmium yellow, but whenever I use it I seem to get the stuff all over
me. I have also found it on the car seat and on one of my shirts which was
hanging on the washing line.
Vincent Van Gogh springs to
mind (rather predictably) whenever I set up a still life or paint a landscape
when the subject matter involves sunflowers, cypress trees or fields with
crows.
I wonder if any artist after
Van Gogh has managed to paint the sunflower without the specter of those famous
paintings by the Dutchman hanging over them?
