Sunflower

Artist Notes:

Kīlauea, Kauaʻi, Hawaiʻi January 14, 2024

This watercolor painting was based on a “Sunflower” (helianthus annuus) is painted from a view of the plant growing in the yard.

On my first attempt to grow sunflowers I was able to successfully grow them from seed.

My favorite was the called a pro cut sunflower.

I liked the large area made up of many small flower and the relatively smaller pedals surrounding it.

I chose these flowers I grew as the reference for several Sunflower paintings in various art media including this painting in watercolor.
