Black-eyed Susan

Spent the morning down at Heritage Park in Kirkland with my plein aire watercolor class today.  The flowers were blooming in profusion, and I even felt okay about my sketch today.  I took a number of photos to paint from, to see if I can do something fresh and lively like these flowers.

“Artists are the flowers of our world. The best ones are those who can stand out from the crowd by becoming a memorable flower — one that moves us, inspires us, and makes us think hard." - Suzy Kassem
