I took the photo of these beautiful sunflowers in the summer, they have definitely become a go to for my painting. I tried to be really loose and not focus too too much on all the details. I added the hints of purple at the end.

I look forward every year to our local market, especially for the flowers that our wonderful farmers devote so much of their time to growing. I chose 3 amazing sunflowers to bring home, they have so much personality and movement.  The name just popped into my head...I think I was listening to Donna Summer.
