"Sunflower Stroll" Whidbey Island Plein Air painting by Robin Weiss

"Sunflower Stroll"  6x12 oil on panel   $500

 

There is farm just out of Coupeville on the historic Ebby's Landing preserve called Scenic Island Farm that is protected from development as part of that site. A neat family owns it and this year they planted a field of sunflowers and called it the Sunflower Stroll charging folks a small fee to come in and take pictures surrounded by smiling sunflowers.




 They allowed us artists free access to paint the farm and a lot of us did! Maury and I went back two days to paint there. I was really fascinated by the barns and structures but had to paint the sunflowers first. In the far background is Ebby's Landing and then in the distance are the Olympic Mountains on the Olympic Peninsula across from the Straits of Juan De Fuca.
