Sunflower, 123 sold


When we planted our garden, I planted a few rows of Skyscraper sunflowers. The grew like crazy, this is the first time I have planted them and they did not become food for the local deer. They are so tall and beautiful, next year I may try to plant a whole field of them. This was just a quick study I did to get a feel for the colors, this was done with the palette of death.
