Sunflowers

This is a substantial painting on a 5 feet x 4 feet box canvas, it is based on a Colleagues work and took some 65 -75 hours to produce. I employed multi-layering and rich, thinned and thick Impasto acrylics..building up a substrate of background until the actual flowers and stems grew out of the canvas. It is a fully tangible and recognisable subject - please note its size, it will command the attention of any viewer. I've enjoyed painting this one and took my time with it...when i really like a piece I put my heart and soul into it - I work hard for my passion but ask just enough to make it hurt your pocket, so that you 'feel' it belongs to you and no one else. My pleasure is in the creation, yours is in ownership and apprectiation of an original Broadbent. Being collected all the time now but still trying to keep it real. Thank you Tony Broadbent

This is wonderful, you have painted the rough structure of the flowers and the leaves so well, Tony.
