Sun Flower Bloom Pen and Ink

"Sun Flower Bloom"
pen and ink drawing 80lb. paper

When drawing this sunflower and looking at others I have seen, I am always struck by the arrangement of the seeds in the sunflower head. It is what is know as the golden ratio. http://www.geocities.com/jyce3/pineandsun.htm I found an excellent we site that explains the occurrence of this ration in nature. Math and Art together can be a very interesting study, they have more in common then you would suspect.
