Apricot Sky
(14"x11" oil on canvas)
It's that luscious time of year when the sun creates a warm golden light that accentuates the rich fall colours. There is an urban farm not far from our home here in the city. I watched their sunflowers grow all summer long... and one day when I was driving by there was a young woman working in the garden, so I stopped and asked if I could come in and take some photos of the sunflowers.
Apricot Sky was inspired by one of these photos... a thick stalky stem supporting a voluptuous chocolate brown seed head surrounded by a fringe of yellow, set against an apricot sky.
