Sunflower Field

My PALS plein air group went out to Riverhead on Tuesday and painted at a sunflower field at one of the north fork farms. I liked that there was a view of the barns in the background.
This is 8 x 10.


I also did a quick small 4 x 6 painting done directly in watercolor.

  6. Joan - I can feel the sunshine on those flowers even though the sky looks gray. You really caught the contrast of light there. I too enjoyed seeing the barns in the background - makes the painting so interesting.
