Pretty sunflowers, Mary Lou.  Love the looseness of it.

Such a dramatic flower to paint.

  Lovely Mary Lou     I particularly like the colours and method used on the petals in the top flower.

I think a bit more contrast in the petals of the bottom flower would make it sing. Love the looseness.

Thanks Mea and Val.  I will add more darks to the sunflower.  Thank you Val.
