Your artwork is beautiful, Jane. 🙂 I once saw fields of blooming sunflowers at sunrise while on a camping trip (we were traveling around one of the Great Lakes). It was an incredible sight.

Hi Robin. Glad you like the painting/drawing. I’ll have to watch for those sunflowers next time I’m on a real drive … sunflowers are well named … Jane
