Sunflowers After Dark, Glowing Orange and Red

A bright orange and yellow sunflower with a dark brown centre stands on a tall green stem. A deep red sunflower is partly hidden behind it on the left. Large green leaves with pale glowing edges fill the lower half, and the dark green background is streaked with fine, wispy lines.

Sunflowers are everywhere in wall art, usually bright, sunny and painted-looking. This one is a night version. The flower heads and leaf edges glow against a deep green-black ground, with fine filament lines tracing the petals, so a familiar flower looks luminous and slightly electric. Someone who wants a sunflower without the farmhouse-cheerful look would stop for this. The orange bloom in front and the deep red one behind it also give two flower colours to choose from in one image.
