Description

I was blessed to spend a peaceful September morning plein air painting on this lovely sunflower farm in Buchanan, Virginia. Every direction I looked there were things I'd love to paint. Finally I settled down in the shade of some trees along a fence row. By the time I finished I was standing in complete sunlight and beginning to get a sunburn on the back of my legs and needed to put up an umbrella to shade my canvas from the intense light so I could see what I was doing. There was a good breeze every so often so I had to hold the umbrella (which was attached to my easel) to keep everything from flying away! Spending so much time looking and translating it into paint helped when I decided to paint a large studio version of this patchwork of fields. It was the end of summer and the sunflowers were beginning to go over. I hope to be able to go back and paint there during all different times of the year. I can imagine spending a lifetime in this one location and never capturing all it's beauty.
