Portrait of a sunflower

16"x12" canvas
A very tactile piece. The surface of the canvas was initially prepared with various texture pastes applied with a palette knife. In the subsequent stages, the painting developed making use of loose brush strokes. A few adjustments were made to the background in order to give the flower a bit of a lift. The edge of the canvas is painted. Initialed on front, full signature on the back of the canvas.

Painted using Golden and Winsor and Newton professional acrylic paints on a Loxley gold canvas. Sealed with UV varnish.

The edges are painted making it suitable for hanging without a frame. Fixtures are attached to the back making this item ready to hang.
