I am a Sunflower

This space is for the art that has been tossed around in my heart before coming to life on the page. They are made out of a need to express what God has laid on my heart, inspired me to, or gifted me with. This is one of my earlier drawings; part whimsy, part worship, part fellowship.  The hills are made of--and the flowers are rooted in-- praise & scripture. The adventurers as well as the sunflowers are captivated by the sun.

I love sunflowers. I like that they grow towards the sun, focusing on nothing else and obedient to the one that gives them life. I like that they in their very appearance they resemble the source of light. I like that 'sun' isn't just an adjective; it is a part of the name with no separation.  I like that they grow in communities.  I like that they don't fret about the thickness of their stems or the arrangement of their leaves.  I like how it seems they never stop seeking. All in all, one could do worse than to live as a sunflower in a field.
