A Little Sunflower: A Sunflower for the World

Flowers have always attracted my attention throughout my entire life. I just feel this connection between plants and nature. It’s almost unexplainable. There is not any other flower as unique as the sunflower. Each petal is perfectly -yet so uniquely- organized around the center of the flower. The center is covered in meticulous detail, which holds the pollen. They come in so many different colors; the yellow sunflowers are the most popular.

Just two weeks ago, I was assigned to complete an art project for my art class in college. It was a multimedia piece of art. For this sunflower, I used watercolor, pen, and colored pencil. By using both the watercolors and the pencils, colors are a little more solid than if I did not combine them. I thought that I would do a sunflower because it is one of my top favorite flowers...

I have yet to come up with a name for this multi-media work of art...
At least I struggled deeply until now...
'A Sunflower For The World' is what I decided to title this piece.

"A sunflower field is like a sky with a thousand suns."
-Corina Abdulahm-Negura

With all that has been happening throughout the world I thought that I would share this.
