Fall and the returning sunflower!

Summer is gone and the sunflowers are prominent everywhere I turn. It's the last shout about intense color from nature for the year as the season changes. The air is cooler, the wind and rain have begun and it's time to turn the heat on in our house. Though we have had late fall painting days in the past, this year may not be so kind. It's hard to close up the plein air easel and store it away for the year so I am going to keep my fingers crossed that we still have a month left to paint outside.
