“Late June Grace” tells a story of quiet endurance, transformation, and generosity. This painting captures a sunflower past its prime, bowing with soft dignity under the weight of its seed heads — food for two families of house finches who visited daily.
Painted in rich shades of blue and golden ochre, the withering silhouette arcs like a dancer in motion, full of softness and strength. This piece is about grace in aging, purpose in letting go, and the quiet beauty of nourishing others in small, unnoticed ways.
It is a work of deep observation and reverence — for those who see art in the everyday gestures of nature.

✍️ Artist’s Note:
This sunflower grew in my garden during a dry June. It never stood tall, but it gave everything — elegant in its decline, its seeds fed two families of finches. Painting it reminded me that not all beauty is bold. Some is quiet. Some is enough just as it is.
