What a glorious morning for a quick paint at the Anita Gorman Conservation Center for the Brush Creek Art Walk! This community garden houses all kinds of gems for the artist - but these sunflowers grabbed me right away! Without even scouting the grounds, I set up my easel here, waiting for the start. Taking a quick spin around this 8 acre spread, I returned to indeed paint these beauties in the sun! With the hazy skies from those western wildfires, it was very pleasant even out in the full sun. I let the composition unfold organically, as I marked flower heads and stems in the wild abandon that they grew. I love the complication of it all, and thoroughly enjoyed myself through the whole process. It was fun to chat with the visitors to the garden as I painted. Time flew by! So honored to have this painting selected for the Purchase Award! What a great day! Painting number 2812 in 2812 days.
