Spent Sunflower

9 x12 watercolor on Canson 140 lb cold press paper, drawn yesterday and painted today from a photo I took years ago.  I've added more color to its head as the photo was more white after birds had picked seeds.  Since we got snow today, a sunflower and blue sky were just perfect subjects to paint.

You have a very distinctive style, and I LOVE it - knew this was yours before I even checked the name. This is fantastic.
