I loved painting this late autumn view of Andrews Scenic Acres, when the corn maze was up and the sunflowers were harvested.

This progressive painting was added to gradually from April to September, capturing the flora and fauna as the season changed, resulting in a painting of the meadow as if everything was blooming all at once.

Starting in April once the snow had thawed, I added in the bare trees and yellow grasses. A couple weeks later, grasses and dandelions emerged. By May the leaves on the trees and shrubs were in a rush to burst open. The crabapple and willow trees were blooming. By the end of the month the invasive purple bird vetch spread, followed by the purple crown vetch.

The yellow birdsfoot trefoil had its turn in mid July, followed shortly after by the stately Queen Ann’s lace. In August the shades shifted to yellows and whites as the native goldenrod and bush aster shot up tall above the grasses and remaining invasive flowers. And in September, the grasses and teasel offered up their seeds.

Inspired by early evening on Rain Lake in Algonquin Park. The setting sun created striking silhouettes against the pale sky, the reflections mirrored below.
