Coneflowers

Coneflowers 8x10 oil on RayMar canvas panel $118.50 http://patspaintings.etsy.com/

I spotted these flowers while we were working our way around the lake fishing. I liked the way they stood out among the other grasses and flowers there.
Even though we were there to fish my eyes are always looking for little gifts of nature.

One morning I was out painting and this little guy peacefully fed while I painted. I slowly pulled out my camera and got some pictures without disturbing him. It was like he felt at ease being in the shadow area.
