Not much info on this little ink drawing. No location. No date. And no indication of the weather. But the Hoary Sunflowers were in bloom so I suppose it was near the end of August, as were the other 2 drawings in this group, the Arrowhead, and the hosta.I had been waiting since last winter when much of the south end of the big prairie at the park had a gray cast to it from the dry remians of these flower stalks. The original pencil sketch is clearly seen in this photo. For some reason when I added the ink for the comment, I put it in a more central place, hence the shaddowy double notation- "hoary- hoary...."
It seemed to me at the time when I finished this sketch that the leaves did not give very good impression of their habbit of hugging the stem. Oh well, maybe next time. Actually you can see a bit of that hugging at the top of the stem.
