Love this sunflower enjoying the beach in Florida, soaking up all that wonderfully warm sunshine! I see it's being smart by wearing sunglasses and I love how you created the gradient tint in the lenses. Bet it's roots are nice and cool buried in that sand while it's rays catches some rays!

Hi Mark, A sunflower in the sunshine state! Where else would it be? I see it buried itself in the sand, like a lot of people enjoy doing.. Looks like it's waving at me to come on down. Love the happy smile This may be a real flower but it is a fun flower. It definitely brightened my day! Thanks for sharing1 Wishing you luck in the contest! :o) Nancy

Love this scene and sunny scene and smiley face. Made me think of the pleasant and warm weather in Florida while I was freezing in Minnesota. Excellent choice of contrasting and bright colors. The realistic elements of your composition is superb, Mark. High on creativity, concepts, and drawing skills and expertise. This scene surely made my day and made me think of flying to Florida and enjoy the warm weather and migratory birds in the ocean.

Who doesn't? :) I feel this flower is talking to me. In your Sharpie artworks, minimalism meets expression, creating a visual language with the stroke of a pen. Brilliant. Here is my SIX for you. Cheers, bro!
