Everyone's Going Somewhere


"Lavender Fields, Forever"
7x5    $95

So many of my fellow daily painters have been painting French, Italian & Cape Cod scenes, I was starting to feel left out.  So today, I packed my paints and headed to Provence (not literally).  I can just image sitting under an umbrella at the edge of the field, the sun shining brightly, drinking a glass of wine & painting.  What a beautiful thought, too bad, reality is it's September in the south, high humidity, it's raining and the bottle is empty.  Oh, such a wonderful, brief escape.  Where do you want to escape?
