Illumination, Sunflower Forest

This field of glowing sunflowers is on my neighbor's ranch, and when the sun shines over the hill of the canyon, the light hits them from behind, back-lighting the blooms in yellows and vivid oranges. I don't know why the neighbors are growing so many sunflowers - maybe to feed the seeds to their miniature donkeys?  But the view is breathtaking.  This painting has been juried into "Paint the County" in Morro Bay, CA, by Anita Hampton, master painter, author and teacher.  It was awarded it Second Place AND Juror's Award.

An oil painting by Laurel Sherrie, the original is available.  Also available as a Limited Edition print on canvas. Frame is not included. Shipping is extra but nominal.
