New "Planted Sunshine" Palette Knife Sunflower Painting by Niki Gulley

16" x 20" textured mixed media painting on canvas panel


A fellow painter friend of mine and I arrived at this sunflower field very early in the morning to capture the sun as it was beginning to rise and illuminate the landscape with golden light. We set up next to the road so that we weren't infringing on the property. We had gotten about 45 minutes into our paintings and you know what happens with best laid plans! It turns out that the owner of the farm must not be a fan of painters because we were shooed away and threatened with fines if we didn't leave. So memorizing that gorgeous light while I was packing up, I finished the painting at home from my started sketch, photos, and memories.
