This is my first drawing from the garden adjacent to the Nature Center. I had been thinking it would be a great place to draw. It was such a warm day as you can see by the notes- especially by early November standards. We used to hope for the first snow by this time! As I was drawing the moths kept landing on different flowers, so one got added to the drawing. This particular clump of sunflowers is very large, and tall, with many shoots and flowers.
As I was drawing a bunch of school kids came by headed into the center. As it turned out some of them go to church with us, and there mother was along as well. I believe this is a Maximilian Sunflower. When I asked the girls at the desk in the Nature Center they could not tell me for sure. This was in a 9" x 12" format on some Strathmore paper with pencil and ball point pen.
