My students and I have been painting sunflowers. As you may know by now, Sunflowers are the national flower of Ukraine. As I was thinking about how I could help the Ukrainians (other than by donating money - which we should all be doing), I kept returning to this quote by Theaster Gates: 

There's got to be something countering acts of destruction with acts of creation.

 So this is what we have been creating.  

I painted along with my students.  This is my painting named Olena, Ray of Light in Ukrainian.

My student's paintings:

I hope these paintings bring some peace and beauty to the world. We are still working on this project, so more will be coming. DM if you'd like to create your own Sunflower.  

Framed and painted on a fine linen Raymar Canvas with Michael Harding, Rublev, and Vasari paint.
