Here's the rest of Bob's garden from a plein air perspective.  The goldfinches love the sunflowers and everything was glinting with gold, the flowers and the birds. I went twice to catch it all.  Apparently all the sunflowers are volunteers.

It's the bounty of summertime.  Saw both of these in their separate bowls on the counter this morning and had to commingle.  I messed with three different background colors- first black, then yellow/ green then this high chroma green. I thought about going back to the yellow green and decided to let it go.  Another painting of more cherries and cherries I think. Some paintings just fall off the brush, others-not so much.

Fifth egg painting. I think it's time to cook up a few.

Here's the fourth raw egg painting.  Love the colors and still celebrating the Pook patterns.  It's a raw egg, but I think it looks a bit fried.  Maybe stayed up too late last night.  I think it's about time to cook an egg or two.

This is a northern Wisconsin painting. Went out with my backpack and paints to the end of our dirt road and was met with a confusion of trees (is that like a gaggle of geese?) and undergrowth.  I feel good about this one- I wiped the first one. It was quite the task of abstraction and simplification. And green.

A shallow stage for these little white daisies and a dotty background.  I was in a band in the 90's called the "dotgals"- we played old time music (I was the guitar player).  So a dot background is always alluring to me.

Same garden different view from yesterday's post.  My friend and neighbor has a very green thumb. I've wandered over in the afternoon to paint for several days. The garden gate depending on the light is a wonderful graphic element.
