Sunflower Peace

Sunflower Peace

Sunflowers represent hope optimism, and peace. I photographed these sunflowers in a field near Richmond, Illinois. I edited the photo to give it a painted effect using Prisma and I added the word "peace." My goal is to create visual, fun reminders that every day, in any small way, I need to strive for peace from the inside out. As Thich Nhat Hanh wrote, “Peace is every step.”
