"Sunflowers"
Original Oil Painting by Erin Hanson
2019
24 x 30 in
ORIGINAL SOLD

About the Painting
I can see why Van Gogh loved to paint wilted sunflowers... the drooping shapes and richer hues of orange make for very interesting compositions! I love the way the warm yellows of the sunflowers pop against the lavish red backdrop. The brush strokes are loose and impressionistic, capturing the flowing lines of the still life.

Fresh off the Easel! When I paint, I try to recapture what it felt like to actually stand there, my feet sinking into the soft red sand, a breeze ruffling my hair, surrounded by color. Winds of Four Corners Original Oil Painting by Erin Hanson, 2025 26 x 32 in #fourcorners #painting #art

Winds of Four Corners
Original Oil Painting by Erin Hanson
2025
26 x 32 in

About the Painting
The last time I visited the Four Corners region of the Colorado Plateau was several years ago. The big, beautiful blue sky was full of white fluffy clouds--the perfect high desert weather. I took photos of Monument Valley from a few miles away, watching the clouds pass shadows over the red rock buttes below. I printed this photo when I returned from my trip, and I have been wanting to paint it ever since. When I paint, I try to recapture what it felt like to actually stand there, my feet sinking into the warm, soft red sand, a breeze ruffling my hair, squinting into the sky, and feeling surrounded by beautiful color 360 degrees around me.

Those kind of palette (I own many, art toolkit and others) are for quick sketching on the way, no puddles or big mixing. The art toolkit has an opening at the end of the ridge anyway, to allow air to flow. Important so that there is no mold.
