Sunflowers at Last Light

As the growing season winds down, there are a few things I simply need to get planted next year.   A few short rows of grapes, for a small vineyard with the western hill rising behind them.   A stand of sunflowers, with native perennial varieties as well as the large annuals.   And a small pumpkin patch.   These three things would offer me unlimited paintings, especially when positioned before the western hill, where the tall grasses and wildflowers run amuck.  With distant trees set at the horizon, it is the perfect stage for fabulous sunsets.   A farm like this should have all those things, and I am just the girl for the job!   Painting number 1362 in 1362 days.

  5. Firstly, congratulations on your brilliant achievement of 1362 paintings in 1362 days. That's a mammoth task in my book. Secondly, your sunflowers are gorgeous. I've never grown them either, but you have inspired me to try next year. They would be great to paint, but then also if I leave the flower heads on would help with my bird seed bill!
    Happy PPF to you
