Wild Field Sunflowers

An original oil painting of a still life on panel.

I picked these wild sunflowers on a hot July day from a neighboring field. As I strolled by, they struck me with their strange magic! They were wild, free, and a little unyielding. They bent, moved, and reacted to the light as I tried to capture their wild untamed beauty. Even if they’re not as majestic as the other flowers (and even a little scraggly), there was something about them so irresistible to me.
