Title: I wanted to Live in the Country

Artist: Vernita Bridges Hoyt

Subject: Still Life of Sunflowers in an ultramarine round vase sitting on table top. The still life is placed slightly off center to create tension between the vase and the shadow on the tabletop. This original and authenic painting will accent your home hung on a narrow wall or within your arrangement of collected art on a wider wall.

Speaking of Flowers, the 28 February Flowers 2026 challenge has been issued by Amanda Evanston, professional artist. I will do my best to paint a variety of 28 flower paintings in February. I don't plan to sell the flower artworks since I'm creating them on sketchbook pages. However, if you would like to follow my progress, stay tuned for the daily flower creations to be released here on my blog or on Instagram at Vernita.Hoyt.Art.
