Description
I love the simple beauty of sunflowers. The contrast of greens yellows paint a beautiful image on nature's palette. I spotted this sunflower in a West Texas field gazing toward the horizon. I had my camera with me--no surprise there. So, I pulled my truck off the road and quickly composed a few images. I filtered this capture through a Topaz Impressions program to achieve the digital paint look. I like the sense of hope for a new day in this image.
***For prints, I highly recommend either the Somerset Velvet or Watercolor Paper options for prints. Somerset Velvet offers soft, warm color rendition across the print on a beautiful, 100% cotton rag paper. Water Color Paper offers rich color rendition on a textured paper that enhances the art effect of this image.***
***For canvas prints, I recommend the glossy, mirror-wrapped canvas print framed in the Silver, Large Profile Canvas Floater Frame (CFL4). It looks great!***
