2010 SUNFLOWER ART & WINE FESTIVAL BANNER

THE FIRST DAY

The Wild Horse Gallery is once again inviting local artists to create streetlight banners for mainstreet to promote the upcoming Sunflower Festival.  This year's banners are about 2/3 the size of last years.  Here is my first day of working on my banner.  I started by painting the area brown and then arranged some yellow cone flowers around a butterfly.  I am thinking of creating a black butterfly which is the official, Oklahoma state butterfly.  It's been a long time since I've had time to work on my easel and it feels so good to back at it.
