Sunflowers bring sunshine in our lives. Sunflowers and Chrysanthemums painting was painted from a birthday bouquet gifted by dear niece. The contrast between the colour of two type of flowers made it an interesting composition. I thoroughly enjoyed painting it. The colour of the vase compliments the flowers.
Another sunflower painting is with blue vase.
And third one is with an ornamental vase.

After painting roses for days together, I was looking for a different flower to paint. I came across a painting by Henri Fantin-Latour of chrysanthemums in yellow colour. I instantly liked the bright yellow flowers and the composition of the painting. I felt like painting bright yellow chrysanthemums after pale roses for weeks. That is how the decision to paint chrysanthemums was made.
Chrysanthemums in a Ceramic Vase
This is how the painting has turned out. The layers of petals of the flowers took time to paint. Various mixes of cadmium, lemon and ochre yellow with tinges of reds, blues and whites were used to get the various values, hues, tints, tones and shades of flowers. The more I painted, the more I appreciated the great artist’s brushstrokes and nuances in the rendition. I changed the background from the original and added more texture to it. Also the blue painting on the ceramic vase is different.
Happy viewing!
