Plein Air Coneflowers (works on paper)




I have a little patch of coneflowers by my front walk. They bloom every July, and I love sitting and looking at them, while drinking my coffee.

The first sketch was done with black marker, the color study with pastel. People may prefer the showier color version, but I actually prefer the more graphic black and white sketch!

I can continue to paint these flowers from a photo, but it's just not the same! Until next summer ...
