Description
This is based on #2434 "October Sunflowers". I had the time and inclination to play with a different perspective on those sunflower blooms. I emphasized the sunflower ringlets. The drying and decaying petals of the sunflower turn into these droopy curls of colour. "Droopy" is an interesting English word. It can mean "gloomy" or "tending to droop". I intended these pendulous, wilts of petals to be happy even in their decay so this is a playful use of a word with multiple meanings. In hair, ringlets are also known as princess curls or corkscrew curls. I think the sunflower is beautiful with or without the ringlets. We just need to slow down to appreciate the natural world that surrounds us.
I used a very smooth panel and applied lots of oil in bold strokes. Art should be fun too.
