Description
Sunflower Joy - Watercolor painting from my Sunflower Series.
Sounds so sexy in Italian or Spanish language : Girasol, Girasole !
Helianthus Annuus is the Latin name. * FineArt Logo will not appear on the print *
Girasole - a glorious bloom of a Sunflower. Greeting the day... and bursting forth with love of life and joy.
Bright, bold and vibrant color.
Always cheerful - ready to greet you at the garden gate.
Sunflowers remind me of the Matriarch of the garden.
Strong, steady and powerful. Their watchful presence always seems to be looming over the garden, ready to protect and provide.
And when it is time to reap the rewards of the Autumn Harvest - although the Sunflower's beauty withers, she provides her garden and nature with her seeds.
The cycle of life will renew once again.
This Watercolor painting of a Sunflower is dedicated to all those amazing women - to have the strength and the power to persevere through all adversity.
I was compelled to paint this piece after watching a few of my friends and family members thrive through cancer treatments. Each one of them boldly faced their adversity with courage and conviction. With dignity and grace - ever looking forward to the beauty in life.
I admire their courage.
Native to the Americas, and thought to have originated in Mexico, The golden yellow Girasol is often used as a symbol of spirituality - as it is often said to turn its face towards the light.
