Blue Fire Sunflowers

Blue Fire Sunflowers was inspired by a vibrant bouquet of sunflowers found during an ice storm in Flower Mound, Texas. Painted in bold strokes and warm tones, this large-format piece captures the energy and defiance of these cheerful blooms.

Blue Fire Sunflowers celebrates a fresh bouquet of sunnies I found at the market a few days ago, in the middle of an ice storm here in Flower Mound, Texas. I love applying a vibrant, loose mix of warm colors in thick, textured paint on a large format canvas. Something about the large size seems to really set the brush free. Sunflowers are just about the best anti-freeze flower there is!

The studio models take a bow!
