Celebrating again

In honour of Fritz's 103rd birthday, here is a snapshot of a favourite painting! Very tricky to photograph, but in whatever light, those sunflowers shine. One could do an entire series of the Stehwien sunflower images, in oil, pastel and watercolour. Obviously an appealing subject for Fritz, in form and colour.

The challenge of not just documenting, but also photographing the Stehwien works continues. The larger oil paintings are definitely the most difficult. A large flatbed scanner is looking more and more like one of the better solutions. Very difficult get access to, however, and very costly for a private undertaking.
