Karen first painted this little still life of flowers from her garden as a quick and fun 10-minute challenge.  This studio version is a little more polished but still hopes to capture the playfulness of the late summer blossoms.  Black-eyed Susans are the stars, with their companions Lavender and Queen Anne's Lace.
 
Oil on gessoed board, framed in a tasteful 3/4" wide black black from with a very thin bit of gold leaf to set off the painting (pic available upon request).  Frame is from Master's Frame Company, locally owned and operated in Clarksville, Indiana.
