Sunflowers on Wolfe Island

This was painted on location in Marysville, on Wolfe Island, last Wed. It was a hot, humid, and unlike Wolfe Is. , a very still morning. I couldn't see the Wind Farm, from where I was painting, but for the first in a long time, the fans must have been very still. I was on the shoulder of the street, looking down a slight hill to the street scape and as you can see the houses were old and looked huddled into the ground. I think they were hunkered down out of the wind that usually blows at the beginning of the St. Lawrence River and Lake Ontario. It takes a short ferry ride to get to the island and then we could have walked off the ferry to this street. Of course you have to stop at the Wolfe Is. bakery for a butter tart and coffee. What a treat before settling down to paint for the morning. This was painted on a 11x14 board.
