The Monarch's Respite


about 7 x14 pastel on watercolor

The beginning signs of Autumn can be seen in the color of the grasses and the goldenrod. Monarch butterflies stop in the fields on their long migration south. Mornings are cooler with a little fog.
This is a new field out in Howard County. There was a golden presence to the light and the pink grasses moved easily to the violet distance. Monarchs visited my easel repeatedly.
