Sunflower Art by Vernita Hoyt

Sunflower, the art of Sunshine

Into each life some rain must fall, it is said. I say that we each need to find our sunshine, and I find mine in painting sunflowers through the cold, damp winter months of southeast Texas.

About this painting …

This watercolor sunflower is a work in progress that has been waiting too long for the finish. I have one more pet portrait commission to paint. After that I will be painting sunflowers … and portraits of children.

This watercolor painting of Rottweiler dogs sitting in a field of bluebonnets was a commissioned painting to be used as a Christmas gift. I enjoyed painting this as it included so many of my favorite subjects, i.e. the dogs, the landscape, and the field of Texas bluebonnet wildflowers.

Artist Vernita Bridges Hoyt

When my grandson was small he had a few Webkins. I think this little piglet was my favorite, so much so that I added Piglet to my sketchbook in 2008.
