More Sunflowers!

Recently I have been pursuing the sunflower theme based on my previous drawing. I have painted a vase full of them in acrylic, used the ink and paint method and a batik version using tempera paints and ink. The latter is achieved by drawing an image with chalk pastels, painting it with three coats of paint, covering with ink and, then, gently washing away the ink. The results are interesting:
