The Sunflower

Oil on Canvas (2020)

14”x11"”x1/2”

The overwhelming feeling of giving too much of yourself away is what inspired this painting of The Sunflower. The image of the leaves, eaten away by bugs and left with holes throughout was disconcerting. The fact that it could have been prevented had I not neglected the flower reminded me of the importance of self care, putting yourself first and steering clear of toxic relationships.
