Description
Wendy Banks is a proud, 6th generation farmer from Lyndhurst. Wendy's Country Market can be found at 408 Fortune Line Road in the Rideau Lakes Township. To quote Wendy and to summarize how I feel, we are " In the middle of nowhere, and the centre of everything!"
Wendy mailed out small packets of sunflower seeds in the COVID spring of 2020. We planted the three seeds that we received. Chipmunks got two of them but the survivor turned into a giant almost worthy of Jack and the Bean Stalk. A tape measure had it at ten feet tall and it still grew a few inches after that. I put a support tie on it to prevent it from being blown over by the Singleton winds.
My friend, the red shouldered hawk scolded me while I painted. The blue jays were squawking telling me that fall was in the air. They were waiting for the sunflower seeds to ripen and be ready to eat. Hickory nuts were falling naturally as well as being launched from the upper limbs by the hungry squirrels. Life is never dull en plein air.
Vincent would have loved to paint those flowers. I know I did. I used a small canvas and broad, rough brush strokes. I used a lot of paint too. I plan to do a series at different stages of growth and even decay. Life is good.
"The sunflower is mine, in a way" said Vincent Van Gogh. I know that he would share though. I almost share my birthday with Vincent except that his was 100 years earlier than mine.

Yellow is one of those colours that is a challenge to keep clean. Any touch without another pigment will distort it. I often play in those colours first... to protect the composition. thank you so very much Sunny!
