Description

There is a new phenomenon on Maui that has tourists and locals going crazy, a field of Sunflowers.Cars have been lining up along the highway for people to take a walk in the sunflowers. I've been seeing lots of posts on Facebook and Instagram and have been itching to go see these yellow beauties myself. Charlie and I made a trip over on Easter Sunday.

So what's so special about a field of sunflowers? Well for one, this is the first sunflower field planted in Maui and for many Mauians this is the first time they every seen one. A Bio-fuel company planted 80 acres in February as an experiment to make bio-fuel. They planed for the flowers to bloom by Earth Day, March 23. But the blooming started Easter week. Who would have thought a field of sunflowers would draw such an attraction.

The rows of bright yellow flowers are really eye catching against the West Maui Mountains and bright blue sky. I took plenty of photos for painting references. The photo I used for this acrylic painting was extra special because of the bee and his shadow.

NOTE; This painting, along with my entire inventory and art studio, was destroyed in the Lahaina fire on August 8th, 2023.
