Sunflower Alley Series Plein Air Watercolor Landscape/Sunflower Field by Pennsylvania Daily Painter Bertie Brown

Sunflower Alley

original plein air watercolor landscape/ sunflower field: 11"w x 9"h

Party Hardy

A field of sunflowers

sat simmering for hours

now it’s ready to cast

an end of summer bash

boasting nectar warm and sweet

and tasty seeds, always a treat

for our hungry dine-ees

humming happily as they feast

bashful, humble

bumble bees

daring dragonflies, such drama queens

golden finches

those sunflower grinches

and baffling butterflies

so gentle and shy

it’s a golden sunny world

thanks to all our sunflower girls

Love the path that leads me in. Sunflowers are such a joy.

Somehow one can cross the yellow brick road with the poppy fields that make you sleep and come up with one gorgeous painting like this, Bertie. Beautiful!

When ever I see a sunflower field it stops me in my tracks. This is a wonderful painting Bertie. So full of life!

Bertie, I think you must've been a sunflower in a former life. You always treat them with such joy! That one bobbing around in the foreground makes the painting.
