Now that our sunflowers are in bloom, I really wanted to capture their beauty with a close-up of two of them.

It was a bit of a challenge painting them from a low angle, looking up, with the bright sunlight hitting both my panel and palette. To cope with this difficulty, I painted the entire time while holding an open umbrella in my left hand. It was also a windy day, so painting wasn’t exactly easy — but I loved it and enjoyed being fully in the moment.
Here is a photo taken on location during the painting session.
