This golden sunflower flower was "the last one standing" in my bouquet so I wanted to honor it with a painting. Yellow is such a happy color and a welcome color now that summer is upon us.
In my reading about the color yellow I found that one of the earliest sources comes
from India where the it is made from the urine of cows that have been fed mango leaves. Not such a great way to get the color, but it just shows what a society will do in order to make the world beautiful. The yellows I use today have cadmium in them, and I take precaution by wearing gloves when I paint. Again, what we do to make the world a more beautiful place.
ENJOY!!
