The Story Behind “Sunflowers Under Red Skies

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.

Sizing & Placement Guidance

Selecting the right size is less about measurement and more about presence.

Larger prints create an immersive, statement-making experience — ideal for expansive walls, above a sofa, or anchoring a room with quiet strength.

Smaller sizes offer a more intimate, refined presence, perfect for layered gallery walls, offices, or thoughtfully curated spaces.

Consider the scale of your wall, the viewing distance, and how much visual impact you want the piece to carry. When in doubt, sizing up often creates a more dramatic and balanced result.
