La Fleur du Soleil

Samohtra has always loved sunflowers , even before he became acquainted with Van Gogh's stunningly beautifull sunflower paintings. This painting attempts to capture its fading glory as it descends to the ground, pulled down by the ponderous weight of its head. Soon it will be crucified by the birds and squirrels that ravage and plunder for its many seeds. The acrylic painting on canvas measures 16" by 20", is the first in a series of paintings that attemt to reveal a passion for the flower of the sun.
