Description
This sunflower digital oil/impasto painting will be my last post for several weeks and I apologize in advance for not being able to reply to comments or thank hosts for features until I am able to sit at a computer again about 3-4 weeks from now. Please know that I do treasure each comment and I will visit each of you when I return to thank you in person.
The sunflower is an annual plant in the daisy family that is best known for its size, height and bright yellow petals (occasionally red) with a dark brown, almost black, seeded center. Grown primarily for its oil and edible seeds, the sunflower is one of nature's most nutritious foods for animals and humans alike.
According to Wikipedia, the plant construction is unique and complex and what we generally think of as the flower is not exactly that.
"The plant has an erect rough-hairy stem, reaching typical heights of 3 meters. The tallest sunflower on record achieved 8.23 m (27 ft). Sunflower leaves are broad, coarsely toothed, rough and mostly alternate. What is often called the "flower" of the sunflower is actually a "flower head" (or flower heads) of numerous small individual 5=petaled flowers (florets). The outer flowers which resemble petals are called ray flowers. Each "petal" consists of a ligule composed of fused petals of an asymmmetrical ray flower. They are sterile and can be yellow, red, orange, or other colors. The flowers in the center of the head are called disk flowers. These mature into fruits (sunflower "seeds"). The disk flowers are arranged spirally. Generally, each floret is oriented toward the next by approximately the golden angle, 137.5 degrees, producing a pattern of interconnecting spirals, where the number of left spirals and the number of right spirals are successive Fibonacci numbers. Typically, there are 34 spirals in one direction and 55 in the other; on a very large sunflower there could be 89 in one direction and 144 in the other. This pattern produces the most efficient packing of seeds within the flower head."
