sweet peas, spotted knapweed & bee balm in field
We have quite a few colorful characters in the fields nowadays. They have wonderful names: Queen Anne's lace, Spotted Knapweed, Tickseed, Coneflowers, Sweet Peas, Black-eyed Susans, Bee Balm, Goatsbeard, Bladder Campion, Bouncing Bet, Smartweed, Curly Dock. And of course there are the grasses, turning from green to all kinds of russet reds and siennas. Dried seedheads that have turned brown and dull brown can yet erupt from their color-stillness whenever a goldfinch or purple finch or hummingbird alights upon them.
The small paintings are mostly pastel, on a printmaking paper. Each has quite a few marks and so a good amount of layering, which, still, only translates a bit of the multifarious field activities.
