Getting Funky!

So, in class today we painted a still life with sunflowers.  I love sunflowers, but have not had great success painting them.  Once I got my canvas covered, I decided to wipe it all off and start over.  My teacher told me not to wipe it out, but said "you have to funk it up!"  So, I took out my palette knife and got funky. 
Here are today's sunflowers!
