Talking about sunflowers, I had orders from my better half to plant her one this year and they turned out pretty good. I like the color and the background makes it stand out really well. I see that this is entered in a contest and I wish you the best in it. Keep up the great work and thanks for sharing. JackJr.

Such a pretty work of art you have done with the gorgeous flower! I love the soft, abstract quality to the colors and definition. The wayward pointing petals are beautiful and help bring a bit of realism to your work. Nicely done and pleasing to view, thanks for sharing!

It's a painstaking effort surely. To work on so many of these sunflower petals requires time and patience. I must compliment you for the finesse with which you crafted each one of these petals. Overall, this artwork has its own appeal and an elegant charm. Kudos and best wishes for the contest

This cheerful sunflower is nicely shaded. You have given the petal nice definition and blended them nicely. I am unsure as to the contest the image was taken in, but it makes for an composition as a drawing. Its hard to put the flower into context. It works well with the seemingly abstract background you have made here though. Placing it directly in the center wouldn't have been my first choice. It is nicely done, thanks for sharing

    Welcome. Thank you much. I did it a long time back and probably didn't consider the placement as much but did try to draw it exactly as the photo given me. I'm working on this one in colored pencil.

Very nice colorful creation. The floral form is great. The depth is great. The details is great. The shading is great. The blend of the colors is great. The creation is balance and very eye appealing to the viewer. Creative approach and awesome work overall.

I wish I had 6 left, and this flower creation is very attractive and unusual with the brown center in such different sections - your background creation is a well very beautiful as there is a tree and such unusual details pieces that it could be the heavens or even part of the tree - a wonderful angle and position created by the perfect use of space - fantastic detailed work and radiating beautifully out creating a fantastic initial impact, well done my dear

Beautiful sunflower. Very well done using pastels which is not an easy medium to do details with. It's the medium I work with and it's not easy. Love the colors of the flower and the background is beautiful as well. Excellent work.

    Thank you. I have mostly worked with oil pastels except for this one, I'm not sure. I purchased pan pastels and hope to work with them, along with pastel pencils. You have inspired me. Thanks again.
