My brother asked me months ago for a portrait of his wife. I took pictures of her regularly until I had a photo that was good enough to paint from. Natural light on her face that is much better then flashlight. My brother and sister in law were very pleased with it.

Sunflowers

When I came back from my Holiday in Germany, my first client for Shiatsu massage brought me a great bunch of sunflowers, so when he was gone I started painting right away.

I started this with a background and from there on I formed the flowers, I think I call it Orange blush.
