Art of the Day: Monday July 23, 2018

Sunflower Ladybug Vignette

- by Pamela K Wilhelm

This week's theme: Helianthus

They are named for the sun. Their symmetry is based on Fibonacci numbers. They are native to the Americas, but have traveled widely and have captured the eyes and imagination of people all over the world.



The inspiration from this piece came from a photographer friend's shot of the sunset in Florida. I did this as a gift for her. I loved the way the pelican looks with his silouette on the dock frame, almost in a quiet contemplation of the day's events. The bronze colors in the sky come from metallic lustre paint on the scratchboard.
