"This little painting is about the contrast of colors in
Nature. A vibrant blue hue saturates the sky behind
the sunflower. Textures were added with the
Prismacolor pencils to suggest the patterns of seeds on
the face. The seed head is just filling in, plumping up
with the promise of delicious, rich seeds!

Sunflowers are so easy to grow in the garden. Their
requirements are few: Sunshine, regular water, and a
little compost! Their lovely
faces follow the sun as it travels across the sky, from
East to West. They are truly sun worshippers.

In my Fiddletown garden, I am visited by hundreds of
little birds. Some are just passing through, on their
way to unknown places. Some kinds stay for the
entire season, visiting my bird feeders daily to
supplement their diet. I offer a variety of seeds and
nuts,but their favorites are always the sunflower
seeds!"
