Sunflowers In The Studio

Quick Post ... long day.  I continued painting sunflowers with my painting stuff ... just with a change of venue to the Torpedo Factory Studio #333. (And a change of light, flowers, surface, ...)

Main news is that my dad had back surgery today that went very well. He'll be returning home from the hospital tomorrow to start the recovery work. Big, big, big, big relief.
