Summer Afternoon was inspired by the warm, cheery sunny days of Summer. In this artwork I wanted to give a nod to Van Gogh’s Sunflowers while at the same time working with a very sunny color palette. Morning glories can be seen through the summery window. The butterfly on the vase adds some grace and movement to the artwork. The wicker chair was difficult to execute because I wanted to use colors that added to the work, and yet not move too far from the recognizable – I am grateful it came out as well as it did! I discovered in painting this artwork how fun it is to paint both sunflowers and hydrangea. I wanted to make this artwork happy and yet peaceful. I enjoy Summer Afternoon on my wall every day as part of my personal collection.
