France! Beauty everywhere....... and this place smells lovely too.

My heart is there.....France! Often times, journeys of the heart are
some of the best trips we take: Painted from photos of past travels,
this original oil depicts the most beautiful place to see Provence
lavender - the Senanque Abbey, a Cistercian abbey near the village of
Gordes.
Some people see something lovely and want to take a picture and just enjoy gazing at it.
When I see something beautiful, I say to myself, "I have to paint that"
My instinct is to paint it immediately, right away and that is why I fell in love with plein air painting.
Not much time to paint when traveling, there's too much to see! I've learned to be patient and store the images in the back of my mind until I'm ready to load up my palette with large amounts of paint and dive into it with my trusty little knife.
This one was painted in the studio and is just dry!
