My final piece is a dedication to my mother. I titled the project "An Ode to Sunshine" because Sunshine or Sunny is my mother's nickname. Her nickname plays a major role in the symbolism of this piece. To hint the viewer, I placed a sunflower in her hair and at the top of my illustration. There is also a very large sun in the background and a small sun on her dress and my shirt. The sunflower also symbolizes my youth. My mother always grew sunflowers in the yard of my childhood home.
The flower doodles next to me are also very meaningful. They symbolize our close bond and are my interpretation of the flowers we used to draw together when I was young. I used mixed media for this project. I used a combination of watercolor pencils, graphite, pens, and colored pencils. I also used Photoshop to add additional details. This piece is 12 * 18 inches.
