Lone Tree and Lavender
30 08 2006Gray skies today and yesterday, so I have been in the studio. I’m not sure if this is the beginnings of storms Ernesto and John making their way up the east coast, but predictions are that we’ll have rain at least through Friday.
Here is another square format painting I just completed. (I told you I was getting hooked on the squares!) This one is a larger gallery wrapped painting, measuring 24″x 24″.
A lot of times I tend to include architectural elements in my landscapes, but I like the tranquility of this lone tree that serves as my center of interest. I saw many such scenes while traveling the backroads of Provence. When the lavender is in bloom the air is heady with the scent of it. The rows of lavender in this piece lead the eye in to the tree.

One happy tree in a see of fragrant bliss. Nice.

I love the landscapes you do. The color, its very emotional.
I think your work radiates a feeling for nature that so many landscape artist try to pursue.
Shantimarie,
Thank you for your lovely comments. They mean a lot! I know from some of your own work that we share an affinity for color!
Still working my way through commissions lately so not much blogging the last few. One of my goals this winter though is to do more experimenting with watercolor. Maybe you can give me some tips :-). Take care and keep up the great daily painting. Looking forward to doing more daily postings myself soon.

[…] that lavender changes color temperature. Sometimes it looked like a deep blue jewel, other times a violent purple, and still other times the red tones would come out so that it looked more […]
Hello Jennifer,
I have stumbled upon your site a few times now and love your work! Your style is so fresh and free. I really admire your control of your color pallette and your layering of rich colors and muted greys is a very magnetic combination indeed. Please keep up the great work for those of us out there looking for inspiration from the likes of you!
