Goldenrod, Cloudy Morning

Burger Park, which I've mentioned before as being a favorite painting spot, has acres of fields covered in goldenrod. Driving past one day in September, I noticed the fields in full bloom, and decided I had to try. So the next morning I went out to paint it. It was a cloudy, dreary morning, but I liked this view of the goldenrod fields leading up to this old barn. Colors in the goldenrod were actually surprisingly subtle. This is an oil, 9x12, and has won awards in 2 shows.
