The rudbeckia is putting on a show - and the butterflies have noticed! Of course, I HAD to paint it!! These blooms really shine as the garden phlox begins to fade. Though I bought these at a local nursery, they grow wild in every meadow here and I move some up to the gardens each fall. I think this variety has a slightly different shaped bloom than our locals, the brown center more of a ball with dropping petals. I think the others are flatter, somehow. I'll have to check that out tomorrow, because they are also in bloom! Perhaps I should also paint this in oils to see how different they would look! Painting number 4978 in 4978 days.
