Come with me into the field of sunflowers starts the wonderful poem by Mary Oliver.
Listen here to Oliver giving a reading of her poem.
I've driven coast to coast many times--back when my sweetheart and I were driving West for him to attend graduate school and most recently on my family's summer adventure. One of the most striking memories from these travels is the fields of sunflowers we've come across--usually somewhere in the heartland--acres and acres and thousands and thousands of sunflowers, all with their faces turned in unison towards the sun. I like to think the farmer who grows that crop is a little happier than the average guy.
And why not? Sunflowers are a ridiculously happy blossom--one that always brings happiness to my studio. Here is a selection of my sunflower creations from the last several years. Click here to view available paintings.
