Parks and Gardens, by Marla Eklund
Every year I plant sunflowers with the idea of making a memorial wall of flowers in honor of all my loved ones that have passed away. I plant tons of seeds, most of which are eaten by squirrels or dug up by my dog, Carley. I do get some flowers and they are always amazingly stunning. It's very cold here in Rochester this morning and I was day dreaming away about this years sunflower wall so I painted a bit in my sketch book.

ReplyDeleteI love sunflowers. In fact I just seeded some and hopefully they will come up. I like that you use them as a memorial to your loved ones gone. I do the same with marigolds. Very nice job.
