From the earliest of times, this North American native has been a source of food and delight to untold generations. Growing to heights of 8, 10, and 12 feet, it is sometimes used as a companion planting to various types of beans, which climb its sturdy stem.

Artist Karen North Wells loves sunflowers. So do her patrons. And her prints of this particular painting are popular. On sale at her Underground Art Gallery in Brewster and at many other locations across the country, it seems to say "good health and happiness" in its joyful exuberance.
