Sunflowers In Golden Light And Second Hand Frame

Poor frame's been languishing in my closet for the past 20 plus years waiting for just the right painting. I picked it up at a garage sale, ditched the heinous copy of Leonardo's 'Last Supper' painted on convex glass that it held (pretty sure it was set up to be illuminated from the back too) and then waited. And waited. And waited but nothing ever seemed worthy of it's tarnished charm.

A year or two ago I painted these sunflowers and eventually decided that they were the right candidate for this frame (partly because it's not so darn precious to me anymore) and will be one more wall-coverer for 'Scraps & Scribbles'.

Note to self: take photograph of painting before applying shiny finish
