This is a copy of one of Carol Marine's sunflower paintings.  Needed to force myself to focus on large shapes of color and this was a fun one to do.  Hope to set up some similar objects to continue working on this.  While looking at painters in the Daily Paintworks website, I came across Lisa Daria.  Take a look and then also click on one of her links "Girls Just Wanna Paint".  It's a group of women in the Boston area who meet once a month, look at each other's work and post a challenge for the month - love, storefront, etc.  Interesting concept - maybe we should try a monthly challenge topic and see what we come up with???
