The Sunny Side is a captivating piece measuring 12x12 inches, rendered with oil paints. This artwork elegantly captures the essence of a sunny field of sunflowers, all in full bloom under a pristine, clear blue sky. Each sunflower is meticulously detailed with bright yellow petals and dark centers, creating a harmonious and striking contrast against the verdant green leaves.

The background subtly introduces structures that echo the charm of rural farm buildings, partially screened by a thick, misty treeline. A pathway meandering through the sunflower field adds a sense of depth and invites the viewer on a visual journey into the serene setting. The overall mood exudes tranquility, celebrating the raw beauty and peacefulness of nature in a countryside landscape.

Uniquely, this piece was crafted on location, directly inspired by a lush field of sunflowers outside of Elkader, Iowa. The plein air approach imbues the work with an authentic vibrancy and immediacy, reflecting the artist's connection to the natural world and their dedication to capturing its fleeting beauty. This painting is a celebration of nature’s splendor, inviting viewers to pause and appreciate the simple yet profound moments found in everyday landscapes.
