Field of Lavender in Provence with Farmhouse - o/c 25" x 29"

 I have painted numerous lavender fields over the years based on my travels to Provence. My very first time touring them, was in 1995 as a guest of a patron of mine. Seeing these fields of delicate purple flowers clumped together in rows up and down the rolling hills of sandy soil was breathtaking. 

Capturing many sites by camera, and making charcoal sketches, I have created these works from those travels. 

This painting, and previous "Lavender Field in Provence" is available though my home studio.

Field of Lavender in Provence - o/c 25" x 29"

Lavender blooms the months of June and July in Provence. It's absolutely lovely viewing rows upon rows of these purple flowers growing out from the chalky soil.

The composition of this painting originated from one of my sojourns in France with a patron of mine. We were in Aix-en-Provence for a few days early July. On the drive from Aix, towards Marseille, we traveled the scenic route towards Montagne-Sainte-Victoire and came upon these fields of lavender after stopping at the site where Cezanne painted "la montagne." 

I was able to capture many of these sites on camera to create original works on canvas in my studio.
