"Three Sunflowers" 5 in. x 7 in. - Oil on hardboard panel - by Bob Kimball


 "Three Sunflowers"
Oil on panel
5 in. x 7 in.

"Three Sunflowers".
I liked the way this painting turned out, then I applied a few different thin glazes over some parts of the painting like the background and the vase. Then I liked it even more.
I really like making a painting of sunflowers in an impressionist style or it starts to get  plastic looking.
