~ The Joe Pye "weed" that grows wild along the highway in NW Ontario, Canada near our summer home...and right here in Kansas also! It is related to the crysanthemum and changes from pale pink to fushia when it blooms. This richly detailed painting took six months to complete and all the enjoyable time it took reminded me of doing embroidery years ago with my Grandmother...Catherine Anastasia (Flynn) Begley from Potter, KS near Atchison who was quite an artist herself.
