Sunflowers and Metro, watercolour 5 x 7" cold press, August 2024 (No. 3970)
The next two were done before the cottage trip, I was standing on the same corner, Somerled and Walkley. There was a vertical cloud reflecting the orange sunlight, which I captured with a controlled backwash effect. Its a kind of mistake I used to make, but here it was done rather intentionally by allowing the blue to dry about halfway, then putting a loaded pale orange brush stroke and tilting the paper quickly. After it all dried I over-painted the light and details.

This was the first attempt on the sunflowers on the corner. Its a nice painting and the sunset adds some colour, but the metro store competes a bit too much with the sunflowers. In the later version, done yesterday, I zoomed in on the sunflowers and cropped the scene on a different angle.
