In my late summer garden this dramatic combination of colors occurs when the daylillies bloom amongst the rudbeckia. This cultivar name is “Frans Hals” daylily so how could I not fall in love with it given my Dutch heritage. The rudbeckia is the classic variety named Rudbeckia fulgida and multiplies happily in this garden setting.

I composed this painting in a classical pyramidal style for the daylilies then using the receding rudbeckia to open the space towards the background of trees and shrubs serving as a horizontal and vertical balance.
