Sun Angel
Sun Angel, 30″ wide by 40″ high, is an intimate portrait of the center of a sunflower. The petals are protective, yet invite you into the flower. I loved creating the rich butterscotch yellows and deep shadows of this painting.
Each year I grow quite a collection of sunflowers and their seeds are happily consumed by the goldfinches, to my delight. This year apparently due to the drought the deer ate the tops of many of my sunflowers, which is most unusual. But this one escaped unscathed and glows from the canvas in memory of summer.
