夏日里，在往桃园县芦竹的乡下散步的途中都可以看到农田里种植的一大片的向日葵花海。
种在田里的大片大片向日葵花的确是很漂亮的。徐志摩先生说：“数大便是美。”确然，花的数量多到令人感到“壮大”，加上它的色泽又都是澄透的黄，一大片花海便成了一大片“黄海”，真是美不胜收。
在这幅画里，我们把向日葵花画得精细些，其他的部分就随意涂抹，使之收放自在。当然，画面要美仍必须经过剪裁、加料，这样才会是一张丰盈的作品。

In summer time, there is always great mass of sunflowers growing in a field beside the countryroad towards Luchu in Taoyuan County.
The masses of sunflowers are indeed extremely beautiful. As Xu Zhimo said, “A big quantity is itself beautiful.” How true-the vast number of flowers gave the scene a majestic quality, and it had a very clear yellow hue. This sea of flowers was transformed into a “yellow sea,” and there was more splendor than the eye could take in.
I painted the sunflowers with great care in this painting, but just casually scrawled in the other parts. I think it gives it a carefree look. Of course some selectivity and extra details were needed to make the painting beautiful-that’s what it took to fill out the work.＠
