FIELDS OF GOLD

One of summer's greatest colorful contributions, the bright and cheery sunflower, is making its appearance on farm stands and flower markets near you. The bold face of the flower and its surrounding petals radiate with graphic appeal. Thought to symbolize loyalty and adoration, these simple flowers are admired for their happy-making "faces".  That striking image has been captured in paper by the Longstreet Collection, where the details are cut out, revealing the intricate patterns the flowers possess. The artistic sensibility of this piece is wonderful, and it has an organic, relaxed feel to it, just like summer should.
