"Sunflowers"

The sunflowers come from a birthday postcard. They are not sophisticated but I like the jug with various patterns on it. Sunflowers are in general a very greatful subject of study. When I say something about sunflowers, I always associate them with van Gogh. His sunflowers are the most known masterpiece in the world. I'm not in love with them as much as van Gogh did. I'm rather fond of tulips. However, I have a commission for sunflowers and I still don't have time to prepare them. To my surprise, many people like them on flickr.

I associate sunflowers with the sun. I suppose it's normal. We need the sun to develop, feel happy, get warm. Allegedly, in countries where there is lack of sunlight people are more prone to depression i.e: in Sweden. I'm just reading Pawlikowska's book:"Blondynka na safari". I realize how cold can be in the morning in Africa. How deceitful can be the sun, leading you to overheating, dewatering and so on and so forth. In nature balance is needed between hot and cold periods. Of course there are places in the world where such balance is broken.

Today a new thought by P. Coelho to raise your spirits: "All power, all knowledge comes from the same unknown source which is called: God."

P.S. Today I prepared a sketch of a butterfly. I suppose it's quite nice.
