sunflowers

This year's sunflower crop has been spectacular.  The weather has been picture perfect providing plenty of opportunities to get out and paint the acres of golden yellow.

Some of the area farms I have been painting sunflowers are: Cider Hill Farms in Amesbury, Grant Farm in W. Newbury, Colby Farm in Newbury, and Old Wild Farm in Haverhill.

Some charcoal sketches.

This past Sunday at the Gloucester Schooner Festival, there was a 'paint out' sponsored by the Cape Ann Plein Air. At the harbor park along Western Ave, crowds of people walked among the colorful gardens of dahlias and sunflowers with dozens of plein air painters stationed at their easels.  All in attendance, excited to view the Parade of Schooners.  

I noted, among the chaos of hundreds of moving boats, a lone lobsterman was seen pulling in his traps.
