I love the resilience that we find in Nature.  My latest sunflower painting is an example of that. I discovered this breathtaking field of sunflowers while spending an afternoon at one of my favorite places on Edisto Island South Carolina, Botany Bay. 

It was a breezy and sunny afternoon and you could tell that some of the flowers were bending more than others. Some were fading and drooping while others were enduring the weather. 

Maybe that is why I love sunflowers..they can express happiness and joy as well as strength.

Life is like that. Some days we feel beaten down, exhausted, and sad. Life is not always what we imagine it to be,,, but like sunflowers we can trust that there will be sunny days and we will grow towards them and still thrive.

This painting is a gentle reminder of that hope and reminder from our Creator. I smile whenever I look at it. I hope that it will bring a smile to a collector too.
