Backyard Sunflowers

 

 

Sunflower study

The sunflowers in our backyard garden are starting to fade so I took advantage of the beautiful weather today to do this small study.

The morning started out foggy and hazy but when the sun came out so did the heat.  I stayed under the park shelter to set up in the shade.  The first faint change in the colors of the trees are bringing a promise of the coming fall.  This one needs some work but I think I have a good start on what I wanted to say about the scene.

Just got back from a 2 day plein air painting event in Lebanon, Illinois sponsored by McKendree University. Most of the painters stayed in town and the immediate surrounding. I couldn't resist Horner park outside of town with the surrounding farm fields. Beautiful weather, warm with a nice breeze and plenty of sunshine. The paintings will hang at the McKendree Gallery of Art in Lebanon until September 27th.
