Heavenly Lavender Acrylic 7 x 5



SOLD

When I traveled to the South of France I was captivated by the lavender fields and the use of lavender in the french culture. They use lavender for soap, fragrances,and candy. You name it they make it with lavender. So when I came upon this scene just out side of a town called Saint Remy I was very taken by its serenity and beauty. I hope you are too!

A friend of mine let me go through a plethora of his photographs for painting inspiration.
