This past Sunday morning I was visited by a group of young artists from Camp Susquehannock. They drew in charcoal and I worked at the bottom of the garden on this pastel painting. For those of you not living in white-tail deer country, we must fence the deer out of our gardens especially when we grow sunflowers - a gourmet item on the deer menu! This is a 16 x 20; rather large for me to complete in one sitting en plein air. I had to finish it up on Monday morning in the garden. The light was coming from the same direction, but it was much stronger on the second day. It is done on a Richeson Premium Pastel Surface Gator Foam - Sandstone using all brands of soft pastels.

This is just lovely. I love the depth and all the right greens you used.
I agree, I really get the feeling of depth and of course I'm so glad you have protected your sunflower girls!
This painting is absolutely beautiful!
Gorgeous painting, Rodrica!

BREATHTAKING--I CONFER WITH ALL THE ABOVE, PLUS I LOVE THE WAY YOU RENDERED THE FENCING AND THE FLOWERS.
