Sunflower Bouquet
6x6, soft pastel
Sunflower Bouquet started out as a completely different bouquet of flowers...in fact, I scrubbed off two different attempts and had no expectations that anything would work. This one worked well enough to call it finished and get on with what was left of my day. Much of it came from imagination mixed with a bit of perseverance.

I remembered to take a picture of the sketch...so here it is. This particular little boat has got to be a classic wooden boat. I don't know the make or model or even year but I like the head-on view.
This paper (Wallis) is mounted on foam core. I had a small tear in the sanded paper so I re-adhered the seam and covered it with Art Spectrum's Colourfix Primer. I'll have to see if it's enough texture for the pastel to cover it. With the water reflections on that side of the boat, I think it's going to be fine (a little inside story on this one).
Once again, I'm drawn to the boat's strong colors and reflections in the water.
