Sunflowers



















I've wanted to try my hand at sunflowers for the longest time, and this afternoon, I finally did.

I painted on a scrap piece of styrofoam (also known as polystyrene) that came with something we bought.

It's hard to paint on, but I didn't know that, did I?! Hahahah!!!

Anyways, this is the result.

The styrofoam makes this look antique-ish, which isn't altogether a bad thing, I think. I did the edges in the deep-brown of the sunflower-centres to add to the old-feel of the piece, and also to lend more depth to the flowers.
