My first image is of my oil painting 'Fruit Bowl with Sunflower Tablecloth' which I feel is now finished. The bowl is a Wedgewood that I picked up at a sale at St Cuthberts, Darlington where I sing in the choir. The tablecloth... well I had to have it, as I love sunflowers and there it was in Lidl saying 'please take me home', as tablecloths are want to do! Back to sunflowers... sunflowers turn to follow the sun. Their open faces symbolize the sun itself, conveying warmth and happiness. If you are interested in the symbolism of the sunflower this is quite an interesting site www.whats-your-sign.com/symbolic-sunflower-meaning.html. You will see it is not just devoted to the sunflower but covers a wide range of symbolic meanings.
So here it is...
