Title: Invitation to the Sunflower Lunch // Artist: Susan M. Donnelly
about the piece
| “Invitation to the Sunflower Lunch” acrylic on canvas board 11 x 14. This painting reflects my anger and frustration that women aren’t fighting to save their rights that their grandmother’s worked so hard to get them. The sunflower lunch was a poster that pre-dated the Suffragette movement. Women had to be clandestine about meeting about getting the vote. The sunflower, for lunch was a secret heads up to women who wanted to attend without attracting the attention of those who were trying to stop them. In my painting invitation on the sunflower lunch, she screams for the viewer to pay attention because her rights are burning. |
