Every year we somehow grow a giant sunflower in the front yard. Not intentionally, but it's always embraced. That particular year, we had the tallest one yet, and I swear I felt like all the other sunflowers were jealous.
This piece was created in response to the silent competition these glorious flowers seem to have each year – all fighting for attention, all vying to become the next muse. There's something both beautiful and slightly ridiculous about their dramatic posturing, the way they crane their necks and show off their impressive faces like they're auditioning for a role.
The delicate black-and-white linework captures not just their intricate petals and leaves, but that sense of theatrical presence they bring to the garden. Each sunflower seems to be saying "pick me, paint me, I'm the most magnificent!"
Calm down, sunflowers. You will all get a chance to be featured.
This piece celebrates the quiet comedy of nature's attention-seekers and the joy of finding art in our own backyard surprises. Perfect for spaces that appreciate both botanical beauty and the gentle humor of living with plants that have bigger personalities than most people.
