Weathered Survivor

The artwork is a watercolor painting of a sunflower. The flower is portrayed in a downward-facing position, with its petals drooping and some missing, indicating a mature or wilting state. The sunflower’s center is richly textured with a mix of deep browns and reddish hues, capturing the dense seed pattern. Surrounding the flower head are large, green leaves with visible veins and subtle color variations that convey a natural, slightly weathered look. The delicate gradients and washes of green and yellow on the stem and leaves are rendered with a soft fluidity characteristic of watercolor technique. The painting uses light and shadow effectively to give depth and dimension to the sunflower and its foliage.
