"Face to the Sun" Contemporary Still Life Oil Painting by Arizona Artist Mary Opat

"Face to the Sun" Contemporary Still Life Oil Painting by

Arizona Artist Mary Opat

11" x 14" Oil on Stretched Linen

Whenever I am gifted with a bouquet of flowers, I feel the urge to

capture them in a painting.  These sunflowers were in a lovely bouquet

given to me on my birthday.  I got a nice surprise when I hung the painting

with overhead incandescent lighting.  The brighter yellow flower has a lot

of texture and really picks up the light.  It almost seems to glow on its own.

On My Easel

Here is what I'm working on today.  It's a 12" x 24" oil on board.  I should be

 able to finish and post it to my website Mary Opat Art later this week.  I'm also working

on a still life which has a few of the flowers I received for my Birthday!

It's a fun arrangement of three flowers.  One sunflower in a vase, one sunflower 

on the table, and an orange sunflower hanging off the edge of the table.

I'm putting some texture in the foreground.  A different style for me.

I'm going to post it here, but it may never get to my website.  We'll have

to see how it turns out!  Have a wonderful Wednesday!
