The Daily Spectrum - Gallery Wall Talks # 10

Sunflowers in Milk Jug is one of my favorite paintings.  I set out to imitate Vincent Van Gogh's style as his method was to paint with a great deal of paint and to blend edges between the object and space.  I found that I totally enjoyed pushing the paint around on the canvas and a sense of freedom enveloped me. This is one reason why the background uses different colors.

While I was at a friends' house, I found the pitcher in her potting shed and commented on how fun it would be to paint it.  She then went out into her garden and picked the sunflowers to go with it and sent me home with this bouquet.

This painting has a permanent place in my collection. I have used this work on business cards, websites, and in social media.

Until next time,
The Happy Painter,
Jill
