Sunflower

A radiant bloom unfurls in watercolor translucence, its saffron petals igniting the composition like a small sun set against a cool, dissolving field of greens and blues. The center—dense, earthy, and spiraled—anchors the painting with a sense of time and growth, while the soft bleed of pigment lets the surrounding leaves drift into atmosphere rather than description. This push and pull between precision and wash creates a quiet tension: the flower feels both vividly present and already slipping into memory, as if capturing a single breath of late-season light.
