This painting features a native Alabama sunflower called Bear’s Foot, also known as Hairy Leafcup. The reference image was photographed at Village Point Park Preserve in Daphne, Alabama, where the bloom caught the light beneath the trees. The metallic green bee at the center is built up in 3D with modeling paste to create texture and dimension. Painted with professional artist-quality acrylics on canvas and set in a honey-colored floater frame, the piece is varnished for protection and comes ready to hang.
