Sunfinity!

 This is my first year planting Sunfinity sunflowers, and I was so excited to watch them grow and bloom "all season long" - as the brand says.  So, imagine my disappointment when deer munched all the blooms off as well as most of the plant!  In the last few days, it is coming back to life and loaded with blooms!  It is still pretty short, but I hope it will continue to grow and become the showstopper I know it can be!  To celebrate it's return to bloom, I am painting this one in ink and watercolor.  I hope to paint many more sunflowers throughout the season!  Painting number 3107 in 3107 days. 

Sunflowers

I picked up a new sunflower variety at the nursery this week - sunfinity! Should only get to 4 feet tall and bloom all over for 9 to 12 weeks!  I hope to paint SO MANY SUNFLOWERS this summer!  With ink and watercolor, I sketched and filled in the masses.  There are so many new buds starting that will soon be flowers, too!  I can't wait to see what it does!  Painting number 3059 in 3059 days.
