“Under a Brilliant Sky” depicts a sunflower, not quite in full bloom, against a blue sky with clouds. In this reduction linocut print, the energy of the sunflower contrasts with the stillness of the sky.
The idea for this print came from a photo I took at Columbia Bottoms Conservation Area in St. Louis, Missouri. I was amazed at the way the sunflowers stretched their leaves out under the sun in the sky. They seemed to say, “Here I am!” to the universe. The sunflowers always faced the life-giving sun.
When I listened closely in the conservation area, I heard nothing but the wind rustling the sunflowers’ leaves. A deep peace filled my soul. I felt seen by God. Not forgotten. Not abandoned. He heard my prayers and used the sunflowers to remind me of his love and power. I am thankful for the gift of the sunflower.
