Beautiful Sunflowers

  Morning  and those of you that follow me on FB know my daughter Helen draws and paints to help occupy her mind and help with her anxiety and mental health-I always show her work on FB but have decided to make a page for her art on here too-they are all drawn free hand and using coloured pencils, watercolours or graphite pencils. She gets her inspiration from Pinterest, but when I saw the Sunflower challenge at Double D I decided to show the latest one she finished yesterday.

The sunflowers were drawn freehand in pencil then water coloured, the little Bees were stamped -with I think a Chocolate Baroque stamp to hide a couple of marks she made on the paper and saved it from the bin! She has given a few away but this one is definitely going to be framed and on the wall. Size-11 and a half inches x 8and a half inches.




PLEASE NOTE IF ANY CHALLENGES HAVE DIGIS FOR PRIZES I AM JUST PLAYING FOR FUN AND SUPPORT AS I HAVE NO PRINTER.
