Description

This image was painted in the southwest where I grew sunflowers one summer. Here they are shown through a wire fence. The meaning to me is that they are behind the fence and are a symbol of the oppressed, needing to be liberated. Although it wasn't painted with that statement in mind, it can have that meaning to some of the viewers. SUNFLOWER: Follows the sun as it grows, adoration, haughtiness, devotion. "I don't think there's anything on this planet that more trumpets life that the sunflower. For me that's because of the reason behind its name. Not because it looks like the sun but because it follows the sun. During the course of the day, the head tracks the journey of the sun across the sky. A satellite dish for sunshine. Wherever light is, no matter how weak, these flowers will find it. And that's such an admirable thing. And such a lesson in life." - Chris's (Helen Mirren) comment in the movie, "Calendar Girls." from http://marriage.about.com/od/flowers/a/flowermean_3.htm
