| Ripening Lavender, Lherm, France 9x12, unframed oil on gessobord Click here to purchase The lavender fields in the Lot Region of France are small but exquisite. The owners are expats and started these fields after visiting similar fields in New Zealand. Their story and website is interesting. DreamaTollePerry took her "June Painting France" participants to visit these fields. Though there wasn't time enough for me to paint oil en plein air, I painted a watercolor postcard while there. Since I am not a watercolorist, I am not showing my attempt. No, honest, you don't want to see it. |
