Sunflower Sax

26 x 30 inches , acrylic on wood, 3D
This piece is a vibrant and dynamic 3D-style painting that merges music, nature, and personality into one lively scene.

The central figure is a jazz musician, dressed sharply in a light blue shirt with red suspenders, blue pants, bow tie, and brown shoes. He tips his hat with one hand while holding a saxophone across his body with the other, striking a rhythmic, almost dance-like pose. His expression is calm and reflective, suggesting he’s savoring the moment.

The background is a radiant sunflower field stretching into the distance under a wide sky of soft clouds and streaks of pink and purple, hinting at sunrise or sunset. A rustic wooden fence anchors the scene, with the musician perched atop it.

What makes this artwork especially striking is its three-dimensional quality: the figure’s limbs, hat, and instrument extend outward from the flat plane of the background, creating a sculptural illusion that breaks the frame’s boundaries. This gives the piece movement and presence, almost as if the musician is stepping out of the painting and into the viewer’s space.

The mood is joyful and soulful—celebrating jazz, Southern culture, and the harmony between art, music, and nature.
