Our sunflowers are in full bloom right now. We planted several tall varieties this year ranging from yellow to orange to deep red. If I were to be a flower I’d definitely choose to be a sunflower. Determined to grow anywhere their cheerfulness brings a smile to all who see them.
Jack and I also tried a dwarf variety called Sunspot. These blooms with the sunny disposition will be the models for my next painting. You can see some of our taller Sunflowers in the distance.
Combining several of the flowers I make a quick sketch to establish my painting plan. Thank you for letting me share our garden with you. Come back tomorrow and join in the fun. Hugs, Mikki Senkarik
