What a beautiful place the flower fields are at the Richmond Sunflower Festival. Fields and fields of sunflowers, dahlias, marigolds and many other flowers. Hop on either the miniature train or the wagon to bring you to the flower fields. To the right of the flower farm is a wonderful country market full of local fresh produce and to the left of the flower fields is a lovely winery, serving several bottles made from grapes growing on the farm.

A delightful place to join a few friends to paint for a few hours.

It was supposed to rain much of the day, but it turned out to be quite sunny in the afternoon and evening, which was delightful for those of us who met on Granville Island for our Sunday painting session.

Feeling grateful for a beautiful sunset and a delicious meal at Tap & Barrel after several long days spent updating my artist website.

I’ll be back on Granville Island on September 12 and 13, exhibiting my paintings alongside four artist friends.
