Watercolor Sunflower

Inspired by an instructional video by watercolor artist Joanne Boon Thomas, I painted this sunflower. I wanted it to be bold and expressive and I am quite happy with the result. It will be one of the birthday presents for my mum. I hope she will like it…

Painted with watercolors on watercolor paper.
