Sunflower

I have an affinity for mixed media, and the only thing in my house besides this single canvas was a brown paper bag. So I ripped up pieces, "Mod-Podged" them to the canvas, and started to paint away. I'm not one who looks for perfection in art; I just want to paint something that is interesting to look at. Although this is reminiscent of something I could have made in elementary school, it is still one of my favorite pieces for some unknown reason. Beth's Sunflower > Van Gogh's Sunflowers. Haha, not really, but this painting reminds me of when I saw his "Sunflowers" in the Metropolitan Museum of Art the very last weekend I lived up north. It was stunning to say the least.
