An original oil painting of a still life on panel.

“Keep your face to the sunshine and you cannot see the shadow. It’s what sunflowers do.” – Helen Keller. In this painting, the sunflowers provide a sense of energy and vibrancy, attributes that mirror the sun. Their vivid yellow color evokes feelings of happiness. The brilliance of the abundant petals complements the fresh juicy lemons. Just imaging the citrus scent filling the room takes you to the warmth of long summer days.
