Description

This painting was inspired by the artists love for sunflowers. She was studying the center of the sunflower and noticed the varying colors that could be found when you really stare and look at the center. As an artist that loves color she chose to emphasize the color of seeds by using varying hues of blues, greens, yellows, oranges, and white. She then exaggerated the seeds with a black oil ink pen – making differing sizes of small circles around the random colors that were painted to create the seeds. The artist did not paint the full petals into the painting as they were not the focus for the painting. . . .When the artist moved from her home state of Oregon in 2008, she expected to miss the wonderful colors found in the vegetation, mountains, hills, and the floors of the Willamette valleys that were her stomping grounds for many years. She was pleasantly surprised to fall in love with the colors found in the Sonoran Desert. Right in her own backyard and neighborhood, everywhere she visits throughout the day, she is greeted with the colors found in her new desert world. . . . . Sunflowers were part of her home in Oregon and she continues to have them in her home in Arizona. They make a person smile. They stand tall, they serve a purpose by providing a source of protein, and they have beauty in their bloom that brightens up a room. This artist finds them to be her favorite flower; not to say there are not a lot of close seconds, she just always enjoys a sunflower.
