There’s nothing shy about a sunflower. It turns toward the light, throws open its golden petals, and gets on with the business of being cheerful.

Sunflower captures that exuberance in a small format, with glowing yellow petals surrounding a richly textured center and expressive brushwork adding movement and energy around the bloom.

At just 6 × 6 inches, this little painting delivers a surprisingly generous dose of sunshine.
