Description
A stunning image of a Sunflower I captured and then used textures and digital effects to give the photo the look of a painting. I finished it off with a a short quote. This piece would be beautiful in any room of your home, an office or even a waiting room. I love the assortment of Autumn colors I was able to create with the digital effects. Sunflowers are usually tall annual or perennial plants that in some species can grow to a height of 300 centimetres (120 in) or more. They bear one or more wide, terminal capitula (flower heads), with bright yellow ray florets at the outside and yellow or maroon (also known as a brown/red) disc florets inside. Several ornamental cultivars of Helianthus annuus have red-colored ray florets; all of them stem from a single original mutant. During growth, sunflowers tilt during the day to face the sun, but stop once they begin blooming. This tracking of the sun in young sunflower heads is called heliotropism. By the time they are mature, sunflowers generally face east.[10] The rough and hairy stem is branched in the upper part in wild plants but is usually unbranched in domesticated cultivars. The petiolate leaves are dentate and often sticky. The lower leaves are opposite, ovate or often heart-shaped.
