”30″ x 40″ Acrylic on Canvas painting of a Hawaiian Hibiscus. Which in Hawaiian language can be translated to NaniAloalo. However, I am still trying to distinguish this certain species of flora. Research indicates that this hibiscus is the Kokiʻo keʻokeʻo, and it’s simply beautiful so I’ve decided to call this piece “Nani |I am currently working this Aloalo series for potential gallery placement on the lovely island of Kauai. This would be a dream come true. So I’m going to paint away, share the progress of this exciting new art venture.

ImageI am starting this Hawaiian  Hibiscus flower series with a goal to be showing these pieces in a gallery connection in Kauai Hawaii. I’m am extremely excited and ready to focus on this series. This first painting has been done with oils, and the way I work, these paints will be wet for months. So it’ll be a little bit before I can jump back in and make the needed tweaks to this piece.

Say hello to the fourth painting in this series of the Majestic Sunflower. This one rises to the top because the main focus of this painting is on the beautiful petals. Each petal is built with color and dimension that really seem to pop off the canvas.

Cincinnati-based fine artist, Jeff Johns presents the painting, “Top of the Majestic Sunflower.“

I really go through the paint, so sometimes it’s difficult to find a clean palette in the studio. When I started to use an old Esquire as palette, I thought it looked pretty cool so I figured I’d snap a few photos of it and share it on my blog. Enjoy, JefferyJ

Majestic Sunflower 3 ~ 16″ x 40″ Mixed Media on Canvas

Hope you enjoy the series of Majestic Sunflower. Happy to introduce the 3rd painting of this series. This is the second painting to be commissioned after the creation of the original which has also been sold.

It’s fun to study each piece, while building off what was learned in each of the prior sunflowers. While I’ll be the first to admit, there’s nothing like the original, the one that inspired all these great paintings, it’s fun to take what you’ve learned on one and carry that onto another, leaving a stamp in time of the progression of the Majestic Sunflower series.   It is neat to see the aesthetic enhancements made throughout each series. How far will I take it? Now that’s up to you.  Call Jeff Johns today and order your very own piece of the Majestic Sunflower series: 859.630.9657

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.
