Sunflowers in a Blue Vase

This is a painting I started in my painting class last week as a demo. We all paint the same thing step by step. I never get the entire thing complete because I am usually helping the students. So I took it home to my studio and finished it. One note about this project: the vase was clear and I allowed everyone to choose the color they wanted to make their vase. We had red, green, yellow and I chose blue because I thought it would accentuate the orange tones in the sunflowers.
