Sunflowers, finished and signed



I finished this one this afternoon. I grayed and lightened the blue sky, added some texture and shading to the petals, put some pollen on the centers and signed. I don't like the signing part, never have. To me is detracts from the painting. In fact,  most of my paintings remained unsigned. But buyers like signatures. Now I just need to let this one sit for a couple of days to be sure it is completely dry then varnish the painting. 

An order of three frames ( one 6x12 and two 6x6) came in yesterday. I am very pleased with them. So pleased that I ordered 3 more today. Two are for paintings I have finished and the other four are for ones to come. What can I say, there was a sale.
