  I cut these sunflowers at Bailey's U-Pick farm. It was a bit of a dangerous operation as the bees were everywhere and really didn't want to give up those flowers.
 
Did I mention how disappointed I am that sunflowers make me sneeze?

I painted this before I realized the sunflowers were making me sneeze. :)
It's also part of a class lesson on developing a focal point. Not sure of my success here. What do you see as the focal point?

I so enjoy painting sunflowers. After sneezing and sneezing and sneezing, it finally occurred to me that perhaps I wasn't coming down with a cold. It was those silly sunflowers! Maybe it's time to find a really nice silk version. :(
