The above photo, taken in 2012 near Italy, Texas has been the inspiration for many paintings!
Everytime
I look at this pic, joy spreads across my face. It is like the
Sunflower is the leader of the field of dancing flowers, spreading joy. I
took this picture at a low point in my life. My mom was very, very ill.
I had been told of the field of sunflowers and I just had to go. I got
up really early and drove about an hour or so...arriving just after
dawn. I was in awe! I couldn't believe my eyes. I had brought all of my
cameras. I started clicking away...I had to be a spectacle...this being
on a two-lane country road. I stood on the hood of my car...I knelt
down, once even laying down(as Scott taught me). After about an hour of
non-stop clicking, I knew I had to get back on the road. As, I traveled
to visit my mom, a big smile spread across my face. It had been hard to
find smiles in the previous days. But, these beautiful blooms brought
and still brings the joy of "Son"shine to me!! I hope to you, too.
