Day 2, 30 in 30 challenge

 If you live near me, you know I decided to plant a stand of mammoth sunflowers this year.  What you may not know is that they are in honor of both my Grandmothers, Laila and Ella.  I have fond memories of sunflowers with both of them and I wanted to have a little bit of them in my back yard this year.  This painting is of one of the many huge sunflowers populating my garden right now.  I snapped the reference pic just as a bumblebee was flying away after pollinating.  I particularly love the juiciness of the paint in this one...
If you are interested in purchasing this painting, I will be posting it on my DPW gallery.

Onward to better things, oil on panel, 6"x6", $75
