Been busy painting flowers...

5/21/2019

I've been quietly painting here at my home studio for the last few months. I have moved to larger canvases and have really come away with mixed feelings. Ugh! I love it and it drives me nuts at the same time. I thought the move from smaller canvases to larger would be easy. I was wrong. Not the first time. Hey! You don't have to agree with me on that!!

The largest attempt is a 24" x 48" canvas. I have to thank my friend, Debbie, who had taken a painting off the wood framing and left the framing at my gallery. I took that and stretched my own, taking a leap of faith I could make it work. I'm not ready to share that painting because I'm still staring at it in the studio just to make sure it's done. I'm finding the contemplation period takes longer for me, too, on whether there's more to do with a painting or if it's telling me yes, I'm done, move on.

This sunflower painting ("Untitled") is one of the larger pieces I recently completed. But, I'm sort of stuck on a name for this one. I painted 3-4 smaller paintings of sunflowers and feel I've worn out the names. So, I'm looking for a suggestion from you. If you have any, well, I'd appreciate a share.

I posted on my FB page (@NanciCharpentierArt) a request for suggestions and an offer. The offer is if I choose your title, I'll use it and I'll send you a pack of my flat sunflower notecards with envelopes.

As I "finish" these paintings, I'll continue to post them here and on social media - you know, FB and IG, mostly.

I also have a great opportunity that's come my way this summer and I'll be sharing some of that in the next month or so. So, stick around. New work is on the way.

And, if you're interested in buying one of these paintings, shoot me an email @ nancicharpentierart@gmail.com. I need to buy more paint!
