Sunflower squared is a painting by the artist Karen Kaspar in portrait format, painted with acrylic paint and oil pastels.
The two paintings Sunflower circled and Sunflower squared were painted as a pair, each a still life with a sunflower in a blue vase with geometric abstraction.
In the sunflower squared, everything has a square or rectangular shape - the brown centre of the flower, the petals in warm yellow and orange, the bright blue vase. The geometric theme is even repeated in the background, which is painted in shades of purple and brown.
The two paintings fit perfectly as a pair on a wall, but can also be hung individually.
These paintings are part of my series of sunflower paintings. Fascinated by the beauty of the beautiful bright yellow sunflowers blooming in the summer gardens and sunflower fields around me, I decided to challenge myself and paint a series of sunflower paintings using many different techniques, experimenting with different mediums such as watercolour, pastels, acrylics, oil pastels, pencil, ink and charcoal and trying different papers and styles. It was great fun. You can find more of them in my album Flowers, more pictures are being added all the time. It's best to check back from time to time.
