Majestic Sunflower II ~ Capturing the Process

Excited by the request to create another Majestic Sunflower, I’m going to share the entire process with you. This new piece of artwork will be created with mixed media on a 16″ x 40″ canvas. Starting with the initial sketch on canvas, I plan to give you a peak behind the curtain throughout the entire process of the creation of one of the most dimensional paintings in the fine art world today. As you track this post starting with the initial sketch, you’ll be taking the journey of texture building and layering of paint to breath life into this sunflower.

I never thought I’d recreate a painting, but when there’s a demand for a piece it really fuels the entire process. This new-found motivation is sure to power an even stronger painting than the original. But, even if this piece ends up more beautiful than the original, it will be a piece entirely of it’s own. The first Majestic Sunflower has a beautiful DNA to it, and taught me what I needed to learn to truly rock this entirely new piece of art. I really hope you enjoy the progress on Majestic Sunflower II. ~ JefferyJ.

GreatMorning™ ~ Arkansas Sunrise Painting

18″ x 18″ Acrylic on Canvas

After a wonderful weekend in the mountains of Arkansas, Michelle and I were up bright and early geared up for a long drive ahead. As we headed on our way before sunrise, we saw cows frolicking in the morning sun. We just had to turn around and take some photos of this beautiful scene. We spent about fifteen minutes on the side of the road just watching the sunrise, with whites of the cows eyes staring at us.
This painting is a glimpse of what we saw that day, and wanted to share an impression on canvas. This painting will evolve, and the process will be captured in this blog post.

Stay tuned and take care,

JefferyJ

Will you marry me? The painting | Process Revealed

Now, that she said yes, I can share the process. This one was a bit tricky because it always had to be out of sight so I didn’t ruin the surprise.
