"Summer Sun" By Verna Pooler

This is a watercolor by Verna Pooler called "Summer Sun".  The way the sunflowers, vase and chicken salt and pepper shakers are painted  gives this work warmth and movement.  The placement and bright color  of the sunflowers lets you know the sun is shining on them.   Look at the movement in their petals and leaves.  Look at  weight of the flower's head bending  the thick stem in the back right.  We can almost imagine  a gentle summer breeze moving them. The sun shines through the ruby red vase and dances across the table cloth. The chickens are placed in such a way where one could image them walking across the tabletop as they enjoy the warm sun's rays. Lovely piece.
Verna's work is available at the Manely Art Center in Brookings, OR and Winchuck Gardens and Nursery in Harbor, OR.
