I admire artists who take everyday scenes and find the beauty in them. In this painting this little stream runs under a local road, and gets passed by hundreds of people daily. Late summer though, the wildflowers come alive along the stream and create this wonderful tapestry of color. One of the more difficult subjects I have tackled I first did a study (Roadside Spendor) to work on techniques for representing the various foliage, weeds, and growth. This made tackling this larger painting a little easier.
