One brilliant, late summer day I took a group of students out to paint in the quaint town of Grand Marais, MN. We picked a spot near a small white cottage, it was dressed up with picket fences and colorful with a front yard garden. I did a fast pastel demonstration. My memory and a small study of that plein air experience influenced this painting.
Late summer is such a sweet time. The bold colors of the summer garden are often at their peak and prime: Sunflowers have a big impact in any garden and seem to be especially suited to the edges of buildings and fences. There they stand like exclamation points saying “ look at me” !
