I chose a bold mix of oranges, yellows, and deep greens to make the flowers feel like they are reaching out to one another in a warm, sunny space.

This work is about the "dialogue" that happens in nature—how these flowers follow the light and grow together in a vibrant community. By using heavy impasto strokes, I wanted to capture the physical weight and the "inner fire" of the sunflowers as they bloom. It is a celebration of growth, light, and the simple beauty of a summer day. See less
