Today I got in a little sunflower practice.  I haven't painted much in the past few weeks because of roofers and painters at the house, and it's amazing how quickly our skills decline when we don't paint every day!

I painted this from a still life set-up in a class I took.  I can't remember which class -- it was either with Hedi Moran or Joni Falk.  I added a few touches of my own as well.  This is a 12x12 painting on a Raymar cotton panel, so I recommend that it be displayed in a frame.

This is a painting I re-worked a bit to give it a little more life.  I had done it as a study for a similar painting I gave my mother for her 94th birthday last week.  I think she liked the one I did for her -- it brightened her day.

I had several photos I had taken of still life set-ups last Spring at Scottsdale Artists' School.  I often use these photos for reference, and today I painted a "cropped" version of one of them.  It's just a piece of the entire set-up, but it was perfect for this small surface.  It's a happy painting.

My mother gave me several teacups that have been in the family a long time, and I decided to use them as painting reference.  The lemon was fresh off the tree in my back yard.

This is my Day 1 painting of Leslie Saeta's painting-a-day challenge for January.  So far, so good.
