My mom took a nasty fall and ended up in hospital for a long stay. Instead of sending flowers, that she will just watch wild by the bedside, I painted her this sunflower to help lift her spirits. 8X10 acrylic on wood panel.
C & C is A-OK!

Beautiful gesture.

It reminds me about the colour yellow in rose symbolism: They give a message of appreciation and love without the romantic notion of red roses. These flowers are a good bunch to give to your friends and family for well-wishers of health and speedy recovery, or to simply show your appreciation. I read this very detailed article on the history of the colour yellow, and how we can use it in practical ways in our art-making. That’s where I learned this fun fact from!
