Sunflowers under Stormy Skies

Sunflowers under Stormy Skies – Print by Mike Dooley Photography

What started as a beautiful summer evening at Buttonwood Farm turned stormy in a hurry. Dark clouds rolled in fast, rain followed, and I found myself taking shelter in a friend’s car, wondering if the night’s shoot was over before it really began.

But storms pass—and sometimes, they leave behind something incredible.

As the last raindrops fell, I jumped back out, set up my gear, and worked quickly. The clearing sky was alive with drama: heavy, moody clouds pulling away just as the sunflowers below caught the remaining light, still standing tall and unbothered by the chaos that had just swept through.

Sunflowers under Stormy Skies celebrates nature’s power and unpredictability. It’s a reminder that turbulence doesn’t get the final word—and that beauty often shows up right after we think the moment has passed.

Printed using museum-grade materials and archival inks, this fine art print preserves the contrast, texture, and emotional weight of that fleeting post-storm moment. Whether displayed in a home, office, or curated space, it brings energy, resilience, and quiet optimism to the room.

Choosing the Right Size
Not sure what size will work best on your wall? I’ve put together a couple of easy guides to help you choose with confidence:

👉 How to Measure Your Wall – A quick walkthrough so you get it right the first time

Larger sizes create a bold, immersive presence, while smaller prints offer a more intimate connection. Both work beautifully—it’s all about what fits your space and your story.

Metal or Fine Art Paper?
Each medium brings its own personality:
👉 Metal Prints vs. Fine Art Paper – Which is right for you?

Metal prints deliver vibrant color, contrast, and a modern, frameless look that really makes skies pop.
Fine art paper prints offer a classic, gallery-style feel with rich tonal depth and subtle texture.

There’s no wrong choice—just the one that feels right when you picture it on your wall.
