Description
A bright yellow sunflower, grown from a runaway seed dropped by a seed cake we set out for our wild birdie friends, took root and grew up in our garden this summer. Since we've been using shell-less seeds for years … they create less mess and do not germinate … the surprise of this pretty flower was a treat. I loved the geometric pattern created by the budding seeds in the center.
Digital art created primarily in Photoshop with some Corel Painter touches … lots and lots of layers with some beautiful splashy brushes in a watercolor style. Loosely based on one of my own photographs (not stock or public domain images … and not scraped from anywhere). This image was NOT created using AI - Artificial Intelligence programs.
Fine art and product purchases of this image will not include a watermark, and if I may make a recommendation ... this image will look its very best on the fine art paper choice of "picture rag."
