Salt Lake City, Foothill Sunflowers

I have hiked these foothills for many seasons - trail runs with the dogs, solo hikes, adventures with friends. These sunflowers grace the hills all summer long and into autumn; their longevity and resilience against the hot Utah sun always fill me with some sense of admiration, or appreciation. I also just think they are pretty and enjoy looking at them all the time.

Painted alla prima.
