I love how much movement you get out of the brushwork without losing the sense of place.
-
The color palette alone is stunning in this painting. Is the medium watercolor?
-
Purple crawled over the hills like a delicate lawn of grass. Hues and shades all around was what you saw depending on where you looked. For one brief moment, you were bathed in the color of royalty and you felt like it.

Yes indeed. I live near several of the local lavender farms outside of town.💜
-
That painting is so full of life. May I ask how did it smell?
-
The caption says "oil" but I don't know much about types of paint. I just know you're right on about the color palette, and that I love Erin's work!

They buzz with bees when in bloom. The bees will pay you no mind. They have a job to do and it doesn't involve you.

Beautiful! Also in France I've seen alternating fields of lavender and rapeseed, which is bright yellow. Stunning.
-
Beautiful! I just told someone the light is different in southern France. Isn't it? Your painting is lovely.
-
My thought as well. I'm surprised that more people haven't mentioned that. I like him and I like this.

This painting, though stunningly beautiful, does not quite measure up to YOUR beauty. 😊
-
The fields in Provence cannot possibly be more beautiful than your painting. Wonderful

Childhood memories of driving past Hunstanton lavender. Not sure if it's there anymore
