Sunflower

Sunflower, oil on gessobord, 6x6 inches

Good day Sunshine!
I have been trying to paint a hibiscus plant and other flowers all summer with no success. I am unsatisfied with the results and just keep wiping off the paintings.  I had also tried to paint a couple sunflowers earlier in the summer and my brain started to concentrate on the details, the individual petals etc. which causes my brain to hiccup. Sunflowers are so alive, that personally, I need to abstract them, so their energy and symbolism of life is all there for me.
Next goal...start painting more flowers.
