I am posting this one again, at a lower price, and with a possible crop. See below:

In case you like it better without the vase showing.

My friend brought me a couple of canvases (thanks, KM!), so I used one today, thinking about all the lovely fall colors coming up. Not that I'm anxious for fall, I could happily take three Julys before I got tired of it. If I got to choose, I'd also happily take three Octobers!

There was mixed reaction to the "Rough and Tumble Sunflowers" from the other day, so I decided that maybe I'm not quite ready for that style. You've got to be able to pull it off. I put this one back up on the easel, and made the leaves and background more polished looking. Better? I also have reduced the price. We'll see.

Sunflowers on Blue - SOLD

Sunflowers on Blue
Oil on Vintage Canvas Panel, 12" x 16"
SOLD at $30 plus $8 shipping.

One of my earliest collectors, who has become a friend, is an antiques dealer, and once in awhile runs across art supplies at estate sales and various treasure hunting venues. She calls them art goodies, (thanks, KM!) and when she comes down to the DC area to visit her son, brings me treasures. This canvas panel is one of those. It's a vintage...um...antique...um, okay, really old canvas panel from "Duro," which has been in business since 1938. The canvas looks to be maybe from the 40's? Photo below. I love old things. I gessoed the canvas front and back, and it painted up beautifully. See some detail shots below.

 Back of the Canvas Panel. Duro is still in business, out of Chicago.

These guys have lasted now an entire week, even though I fussed at the time about paying $10 for 6 stems.
