Description

Sunflower Your petals gently fall One by one Like golden tears As you bid farewell To your glory days In the sun Goodbye Sunshine prose by Carol Cavalaris© Credits: This concludes my Sunflower series from my Language Of Flowers Collection. This one was inspired by a recent trip I took to a small mountain town called Idaho Springs, where I found a community garden in the middle of town filled with giant sunflowers. They were the biggest blooms I've ever seen, even beautiful bent with age and their petals almost gone. I can't wait to see them next year in full bloom. Created in Photoshop CS, using photo references and painting techniques. Hope you enjoy. :o) CC Fine Art Specialty Store Website

Round and round it goes within one lifetime, concentric in larger circles. Renew. Wonderful, but somber, aye? I love those dangling yellows.

Another amazing image for your sunflower series. I love how the little petals give the feeling that the sunflower is crying over the end of the summer. I could look at this for ages Carol it is such an emotional work. Your brushwork is fabulous and your work is outstanding.
