The Sunflowers' Song

It seems like every picture of sunflowers has its own story - you could call it a song. Some are happy and full of hope, others express the power of beauty, while others might convey a feeling of poignancy. No matter how you think about them, they seem to symbolize great emotion. Rarely are sunflowers depicted as “just flowers.” While I feel differently about sunflowers at different times, they always attract me - to grow, to display, and to paint. What these sunflowers sing to me is a song with a little of everything in it. A happy melodic tune that ascends to sweet, high notes, but then turns down to catch some minor chords, reminding me that in so much beauty, there is often a hint of sadness. But perhaps that’s just me. I hope you find a worthy tune that plays in your head when you look at this painting.
