It's getting harder to find these roadside sunflowers as the season progresses! On the news of a dear family friend under the weather, I instantly thought of her love of sunflowers, and had to paint them! The flower of Kansas, these are commonly found all over the rural pastures and roads. I have saved a bunch of seed which I will be tossing along my own fence lines, to ensure I never run out next year! Lol! These tangled beauties make for difficult compositions, so I normally paint them negatively. By filling in the sky holes, the sunflowers emerge. I find this easier than blocking in every stem and mass, at least at first. That is the next step, though! Painting number 2827 in 2827 days.
