October 3, 2008 By the Milkweed Field

8x8 pastel on Uart paper
Aububon Center, early morning, light key focus. Right beyond this tree is a field that is filled with milkweed. It is the first year there have been only a few Monarch butterflies filling the field. The population is down. I wonder if this is an indication of something.

September 17, 2008 Goldenrod Light

7x7 pastel and watercolor on wallis board $100. plus sip and tax
The Audubon Center is a beautiful place...way up there on the hill. The fields face east and the back of the house and trees glow from the western sun. At this point the field is filled with goldenrod. Cool.
