Sunflower experiments

Mollie from the Painting Friends forum I belong to described to us a technique of dropping dots of colour and mopping water to create loose, vibrant sunflowers.

So I thought I would experiment to see if I could pick it up - and it was only on the fourth attempt that I felt it was loose enough to be really vibrant.

Once you've seen all four, please do tell me what you think... and which is your favourite!

  1. I like 3 because it is well-defined, but I like 1 being a bit abstract and 4 for being totally abstract. (not real sure abstract is the correct word here, but I am sure you understand what I'm saying.)

  2. I guess I'm an oddball :) I like #1 then #4. :) I just love watching you paint.

  3. I can't decide which I like better. They all have different feelings of control and looseness.

  4. I like them all - but I rarely do "favorites" in any aspect of my life, especially when it comes to Beauty. And there are all beautiful.
