Sunflowers & Oxford (2025) is a richly textured acrylic painting by artist Becca Mercer, blending the warmth of everyday beauty with the gentle energy of French Impressionism.
This piece holds a special place in my heart. Last summer, I had the privilege of accompanying my husband, Drew, to Oxford, UK, where he presented a paper at a conference. At the base of our hotel was a charming pub — the same one featured in the Inspector Morse series. After a long day, our bartender handed me a beer in this beautifully shaped bottle, which I loved so much that he wrapped it in cellophane for me to take home.
Back in Missouri, that same bottle found a second life holding sunflowers from our backyard — and inspired this painting. Sunflowers & Oxford celebrates the poetry of simple things: shared moments, familiar places, and the light that connects them.
