Sunflowers Under Red Skies

Sunflowers Under Red Skies – Print by Mike Dooley Photography

Growing up, my grandfather used to say, “Red sky at night, sailors delight.” I’ve never been much of a sailor, but I can tell you this—I’m always delighted when the sky decides to put on a show like this.

This was one of those evenings where everything aligned. The sun dipped low, the sky erupted in fiery reds, and the sunflowers below seemed to bask in the glow. The contrast between the bold red sky and the golden blooms created a scene that felt alive—full of warmth, energy, and summer spirit.

Sunflowers Under Red Skies celebrates the fleeting magic of summer sunsets. It’s a reminder to pause, look up, and really take in the color and light around us before it fades. These moments don’t last long, but they stay with you.

Printed using museum-grade materials and archival inks, this fine art print preserves the richness, contrast, and vibrancy of that unforgettable sky. It’s a natural fit for homes, offices, and design-forward spaces that could use a little warmth and energy on the wall.
