A freshly bloomed flower head of the wild sunflower plant, also known as cow pen daisy has lots of interesting unfurled petals in the disc flower that are still moist with the sap and delicate sunny yellow scalloped ray petals in a two layer thick row all around the head. Soon the disk flowers will transform into fuzzy pollen covered stamens that are a favorite with so many species of pollinators I can't even begin to list them all here. This lovely plant is a favorite in butterfly gardens because it hosts the border patch butterfly and blooms in abundance from early spring to late fall. It is also hated my cattlemen because it grows profusely in the cow pastures and can be toxic to livestock.

This close up shows the detail and rich colorful beauty of this wildflower that is native to my area of Oklahoma.

Everywhere I look, I see art. If you cut me, I bleed art. I am an artist from birth. It is a talent and a gift God gave me. I specialize in old school digital art, botanical, abstracts and photo manipulation with an emphasis on light and color. One of my goals as a digital artist is to create art that doesn't look digital. My style is eclectic and I focus less on exact details and more on impressions and feelings. You will see the influence of my favorite styles in my work, such as post impressionism, expressionism and modern digital techniques like glitch art .
