“I love sunflowers and chose to paint sunflowers on my Toto. I couldn't think of a better way to represent Kansas, so I combined sunflowers on the iconic Toto. I painted the head and his feet of my Toto black and brown, similar to the Toto in the Wizard of Oz and painted the center of the body with a field of sunflowers.”
