Lavender Summer by Marion Hedger

Lavender Summer Provence Landscape

18x24cm (approx 7x10inch) 

Oil on 3mm MDF canvas panel

AVAILABLE

This painting nearly slipped through the net. I painted it last year after my yearly trip to the lavender fields. For some reason I missed posting it! A shame because I really like the way it it turned out.

I thought you might like to see my inspiration photo. As you can see I used my artistic license to it's full extent, adding foreground colour and encouraging the far lavender field into bloom.

Tell me how you would have handled this photo.

These beautiful chasms run down each side of the Tarn River, a favourite tourist attractions in Southern France. Imagine yourself canoeing down the river encased in the sheer cliffs.

Painted with a palette knife you won't be able to resist touching the surface texture (as shown in the close-up photos).

You can hang it in a traditional frame or lean it against the wall on a shelf. The backing boards forms a natural border around the painting.

Paris Art Trek with Niki Gulley & Scott Williams

"Framed in Wisteria," Giverny, France • 7" x 5" oil painting by Niki Gulley

Day 7 - Art Trek Paris with Niki Gulley and Scott Williams

The last few days of our Art Trek, we checked out of our hotel in Paris and headed to the peaceful countryside, near Giverny. The b&b we stayed at was straight out of a storybook, and the grounds themselves looked like an impressionist painting. We loved the setting so much, we stayed right there and painted outside our rooms the last day.
