I loved painting this and employing all the knowledge I learned from Trisha Adams in her online course. What a wonderful teacher she is. The photo reference is Trisha's and the assignment was to lose three edges and decide on the focal point.
It seems everyone loves sunflowers, and so many songs feature this happy flower. Stevie Wonder's "You Are the Sunshine of My Life" is certainly my favorite.
