Sunflower and Daisies is my second painting today.  This is definitely a first for me, I think.  Maybe it is because the weather is so nice today.  Even though it's supposed to rain the rest of this week, I am READY for warm weather!  

I'm really enjoying working with acrylics again.  I feel the colors are more vivid and defined.  With oils I would be blending too much!  Just have to remember to allow for the fact that acrylics dry darker.  Otherwise, no fumes, no nasty clean up, and dry time is very fast.  I may have to stash away my oils for a while. Hmm...

This is another study created from a Nancy Medina workshop in Texas.  I worked and re-worked it until it spoke to me and said, "Enough already!"

Today's rain seemed to be a good time to paint Sunny Daze. The day started out rather bleak, but when I finished my sunflowers, the sun came out and now we have a sunny day, which put me in a sunny daze!
