Wild Sunflowers, 16 x 8, oil on panel, L. Daniel © 2016
These Sunflowers are abundant in Texas at this time of year. They seem to thrive on the heat and searing light, and pop up spontaneously in the wild. I love them BECAUSE of their resilience, and also for their wispy and whimsical beauty.

What is not to love here Laurel?! We're truly blessed with all the wildflowers - seemingly delicate but resilient to the Texas heat. Beautiful painting Laurel.
Graceful and free. Very nice painting, capturing the essence of the sunflowers.
Resilience is an important quality for a flower this time of year - we could use some more resilience in our gardens in New England right about now.
But I digress - I'm impressed by your color combination and your atmospheric perspective, not to mention that bold stroke of solid green in the bottom right corner - so unexpected and so perfect.
Best, Lisa Daria
Thank you, Marilyn, Helen and Lisa! :)
