I spent yesterday plein-air painting with the wonderful artists from the Don Valley Art Club. We went back to Rosetta McClain Gardens in Scarborough. It's a beautiful place with lots of subjects to paint! These tall sunflowers caught my eye. They are such lovely flowers, so majestic!

Here's my paintbox. (I already cleaned my palette before I remembered to take the picture.)

This week's Daily Paintworks Challenge is to paint sunflowers. I had a wonderful time with this painting. I enjoyed adding all the wild purple and blue flowers and doing lots of negative painting within the stems. As well as a bit of 'fingernail scratches'. : )

I got the title of this painting from a wonderful poem by Albert Camus.

Don't walk behind me; I may not lead.

Don't walk in front of me; I may not follow.

Just walk beside me and be my friend.
