Summer Garden plein air painting by Jennifer Young

This scene is one I've been "stalking" for a few days in the Bellevue neighborhood where I live. I've written before about my North Richmond 'hood, and how many avid gardners live around here. On one of our evening walks, we passed this adorable yard with a sunny garden of sunflowers and zinnias, and I knew I wanted to come back by and paint it. I especially liked this scene when the sunflowers were set against the neighboring house, at around 9 - 10 a.m., when the bungalow was mostly in shadow:

Concentrating on painting a faraway tree with distant mountains had been my focus. But as I began packing away my easel, I spotted this sunny corner on Sandra's deck. Now I'm not a floral painter, but the variety of pinks and corals caught my eye.
