The Friends of Wellesley College Botanic Gardens has scheduled a three day program at the height of sunflower season, July 29 – July 31, 9:30 – 3:30, which will lift your spirits. Van Gogh’s iconic paintings of sunflowers have inspired many artists to capture their strength and vibrancy. Don’t be daunted by the complexity of their spiral centers. Join this workshop with Elaine Searle to explore the sunflower from all angles. Create a study sheet or small painting filled with sunshine. You may discover that the backs of the blooms are just as fascinating as their faces. Friends price $340; non-members $425.
