LAVENDER GARDEN

This beautiful garden is a common occurrence in the state of California where they grow lavender for making sachets and perfumes. Here the lavender is ready to be harvested. I painted this daily painting in plein air among the bees roaming madly between flowers. The day was a bit smokey due to to some nearby fires. The quality of the light was magical. You can see such light when the sun is out but a storm is brewing. I am planning to return to this garden and produce more paintings on the same subject.
